Service description
If you wish to relocate the registered office of your company within the area of responsibility of the municipality previously responsible, you must re-register your business. The same applies if you change the location of your registered office or the location of a branch or dependent branch office.
If you change your business activity, you must re-register your business. This is the case, for example, if in future you offer goods or services in your business exclusively or additionally that are not customary in relation to your registered trade.
In addition, you must re-register your business if your name as a trader changes.
The re-registration must be carried out by the following persons or their authorized representatives:
- for sole traders: by the trader himself or herself
