INC-4 — OPC Member/Nominee Change

Form INC-4 is used to record a change of member or nominee in a One Person Company with the ROC. An OPC must always have a member and a nominee, and any change to that arrangement — such as the nominee withdrawing or being changed, or the member changing — is filed in INC-4.

An OPC has a single member, so it must name a nominee who will become the member if the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated. This ensures continuity of the company, and the nominee's consent and any change must be properly recorded.

INC-4 is required when the nominee withdraws consent, the member changes the nominee, or there is a change of the member, including where the nominee becomes the member on the original member's death or incapacity. Each situation must be filed within the prescribed time.

If the nominee withdraws consent, the member must nominate another person, obtain their consent, and file the change in INC-4 within the prescribed period. We obtain the new nominee's consent and file the change so the OPC stays compliant.

Yes. A new nominee must give written consent, generally in Form INC-3, before being named, and that consent supports the INC-4 filing. We obtain the consent and file the change correctly.

Failing to record a member or nominee change leaves the OPC's records inaccurate and exposes the company and member to penalties, and can create uncertainty over succession. We ensure the change is filed promptly to keep the OPC in order.
