Filing of LLP Form 12 in Goa — intimating an address other than the registered office at which documents may be served on your LLP — so important communications reach the right place without changing your registered office.
Overview
An LLP can choose to receive service of documents at an address other than its registered office — for example a head office, an advisor's office, or a more convenient location. To do so, it intimates that address to the Registrar in Form 12.
This is different from changing the registered office — the registered office stays the same; Form 12 simply adds a valid address for service. It is useful where the registered office is not where the LLP actually manages its correspondence. We file Form 12 to set this up, distinct from a Form 15 office change, within your overall LLP compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Form 12 is the filing through which an LLP intimates to the Registrar an address, other than its registered office, at which documents may be served on it. It adds a valid service address without changing the registered office itself.
An LLP may want documents served at a more convenient or central location — such as its head office or its advisor's office — rather than the registered office. Form 12 lets it nominate that address for service, ensuring communications reach the right place.
No. Form 12 only adds an alternative address for the service of documents, while the registered office remains unchanged. Changing the registered office itself is done through Form 15. We advise which one your situation actually requires.
The filing needs the details of the alternative address and the LLP's decision to use it, with supporting proof of the address. We compile these and file the intimation correctly.
Yes. The intimated address can be updated or withdrawn by a further filing if the LLP's arrangements change. We handle any later updates so the service address stays current.
No. The LLP's jurisdiction continues to be determined by its registered office; the other address is only for receiving documents. Intimating it does not change the registered office or the LLP's ROC jurisdiction.
