Whether you are switching virtual office providers, relocating your physical office, or using a registered address service for the first time, updating your registered office address with ACRA is a straightforward process and there is no filing fee.

This guide walks you through exactly how to change your registered address on ACRA's BizFile+ system.

Before You Change Your Address: What to Have Ready

Before you log in to BizFile+, make sure you have:

• Your SingPass login (or your filing agent's credentials if using a corporate services firm)
• The new registered address confirmed and ready (e.g., the VCO Office address: 60 Paya Lebar Road, #06-53, Paya Lebar Square, Singapore 409051)
• Confirmation from your new virtual office provider that your subscription is active and your address is ready for use
• Confirmation that the new address meets ACRA's requirements (physical unit, accessible during business hours, not a P.O. Box)

If you are using VCO Office, you will receive a subscription confirmation email once your plan is active, this confirms your address is ready to use with ACRA.

Once ACRA confirms the change (usually within the same business day), update:

How to Change Your Business Address — For Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships

Select the option for "Principal Place of Business" (the equivalent of registered office for non-company entities).

Step 5: Enter the New Address

Enter the new address using the postal code and unit number as described above.

Step 6: Submit

Submit the filing. No fee applies for this change.

Is There a Filing Fee to Change Your Registered Address?

No. ACRA does not charge any fee to update your company's registered office address or your business's principal place of business. This is a free transaction on BizFile+.

Some corporate services firms may charge a nominal administration fee (S$30–S$60) if they handle the filing on your behalf. If you have your own SingPass, you can file directly for free.

How Long Does the Address Change Take to Process?

BizFile+ processes registered address changes almost immediately typically within minutes to a few hours on the same business day. Once confirmed, the new address is reflected on your company's public BizFile profile.

What Happens to Mail Sent to Your Old Address?

If your previous virtual office provider's subscription has expired, they may return mail to sender or hold it for a limited period. To avoid missed mail:

• Activate your new virtual office subscription before changing your ACRA address
• Inform key correspondents (banks, IRAS, clients) of your new address
• Allow for a brief transition period during which mail may arrive at either address

VCO Office's mail team is experienced in onboarding new clients transitioning from other providers.

Can I Update My Director's Contact Address at the Same Time?

Yes. When logging into BizFile+ to change your company's registered address, you can also update the contact or alternate address for individual directors and company officers under "Change in Director/Manager/Secretary Particulars." This is separate from the company's registered office address.

If you are using VCO Office as your director's contact address, the address is the same: 60 Paya Lebar Road, #06-53, Paya Lebar Square, Singapore 409051.

Why Entrepreneurs Switch to VCO Office

Common reasons business owners switch their registered address to VCO Office include:

• Previous provider increased prices at renewal — VCO Office locks in your rate and never charges more at renewal than at subscription
• Poor mail handling — unreliable notifications, lost mail, slow scanning. VCO Office provides instant WhatsApp and email alerts
• Hidden fees — being charged per visit or per notification. VCO Office includes all essential services transparently
• Provider closed down — VCO Office has been in operation since 2017 with over 5,000 satisfied clients
• Need a more accessible location — Paya Lebar Square is directly beside Paya Lebar MRT for convenient self-collection
