Do I need MFSA licensing just to provide company formation services?
- 07.08.2026
I run a small company in Malta and I’m relocating my office from Gzira to a new address in Msida. I know I need to update this somewhere official but I’m not sure exactly what the process is or whether there’s a deadline.
Changing a company's registered office address in Malta is a relatively straightforward administrative filing under the Companies Act, Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta, but it does need to be formally notified to the Malta Business Registry (MBR) rather than simply updated informally on your own records or website. You will need to submit the appropriate change of registered office form through the MBR, and this should be done promptly once the change takes effect, since an out-of-date registered address can cause you to miss important official correspondence, including statutory notices. Depending on your articles of association, this change may simply be a directors' decision, or in some cases may require shareholder input if the articles specify otherwise, so it is worth checking your own governing documents. Once filed and processed, the new address will appear on the public register, and you should also remember to update your address separately with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration and any relevant licensing authorities, since these are not automatically updated through the MBR filing alone.
