Incorporation
We file your INC-22 to formalize or change your company's registered office, with the address-proof documents the ROC actually accepts.
Formalizing or changing your registered office means filing INC-22 with the address-proof documents the ROC actually wants. Get the document matrix wrong for your ownership scenario and it can bounce back. We handle the filing and the document check.
INC-22 is the MCA filing used to formalize your registered office address, or to change it. For example, if you incorporated using a correspondence address and need to confirm your permanent registered office, or you've simply moved.
The right supporting documents depend on who owns the space, so getting that matrix right the first time matters.
Scope
The filing that records your registered office address with the ROC.
We check your utility bill, ownership/rent proof, and NOC against your specific office scenario before submission.
Specifics
You may need INC-22 to formalize your registered office if you incorporated with a correspondence address, or to record a change if you've moved offices. If your address information at incorporation was provisional, this is generally expected to be filed reasonably soon after incorporation. We confirm the current deadline that applies to your specific situation before filing, since guidance on this varies.
| Office scenario | Rent agreement | NOC from owner |
|---|---|---|
| Self-owned | Not required | Not required (sale deed instead) |
| Owned by a parent, sibling, or friend | Not required | Required |
| Rented | Required | Required |
| Coworking space | Provider service agreement | Required (or provider-issued equivalent) |
| Virtual office | Provider service agreement | Provider-issued equivalent |
Moving your registered office to a different state is a much bigger process than this filing. It needs a special resolution, a newspaper advertisement, individual notice to every creditor, a statutory objection window, and Regional Director approval before the closing filings. We run that whole sequence as its own service, so talk to us first if you are moving states rather than treating it as an INC-22.

Clarifications
If you incorporated using a correspondence address, or you've since moved offices, INC-22 is the filing that formalizes or updates your registered office with the ROC.
It depends on who owns the office. Self-owned, rented, or owned by a family member, friend, or coworking/virtual-office provider each need a different combination of utility bill, ownership or rent proof, and NOC. We check this against your specific scenario before filing.
No. An out-of-state move is a separate, higher-touch process: a special resolution, an INC-26 newspaper advertisement, individual notice to every creditor, a 21-day objection window, and Regional Director approval before the closing filings. We run that whole sequence as its own service. Talk to us and we will scope it for your case.
