An already-registered Limited Liability Partnership's partner(s) file this notice to change the partnership's registered office address, identifying the existing record by its registered number and category before stating the new registered office address and the date the change takes effect. This schema does not submit the filing itself; the live source and the Department's own current requirements are always authoritative.
