Owning and operating a limited liability company (LLC) is an exciting and busy venture. But if the LLC moves and its address changes, the owners need to change their LLC address on file with federal, state, and local agencies, along with the brand’s customers. That way, everyone knows how to find and reach the business.
This guide walks through how to carry out an LLC address change. It also covers the basics of changing an LLC address on legal paperwork, like the Articles of Organization and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Change of Address Form 8822-b.
The first step in an LLC change of address is to register or carry out the adjustment with the post office. A business owner can do this by going to the post office in their area and filling out the forms, such as applying for a new post office box or filling out a change of business address form. It’s also possible to complete this step online through the United States Postal Service’s website.
Next, it’s time to notify the IRS of the update regarding the new LLC address. To tell the IRS about the change of address, file Form 8822-b, which applies to businesses with an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Ideally, an LLC will file this form ahead of a move, but if it doesn’t happen, it can file the form shortly after.
The third step is to update the business information with the state agency that authorized the LLC. Typically, a business owner can accomplish this by filing an amendment with the Secretary of State to carry out the change of address (note: in some states, the appropriate office might be named the “Department of State,” “Division of Corporations,” or some other title). An LLC can amend its Articles of Organization, and with it, its address, by filing Articles of Amendment with the state agency.
For details on the specific process, business owners should check with their Secretary of State to determine exactly what needs to be done. Please keep in mind that business owners have to inform the Secretary of State of any change to their LLC address, even if they work from home or have a virtual business address.
At the same time, the LLC should notify the state tax agency about the address change as well. This will help the business keep up-to-date on all relevant notices.
The fourth step is to update the records of licensing agencies at the state, federal, or local level. If the LLC has any permits, licenses, or other agency authorizations, it needs to update those agencies about the change as well. Failing to update the agency promptly may result in the termination of a business license, so it’s best to check this information sooner rather than later.
If the LLC owner has a “doing business as” (DBA) name, they must also update it when they change their LLC address. The process for doing so depends on the state in which the business is located.
For example, an entrepreneur could change their DBA address in Illinois by filing an amendment with the Illinois Secretary of State. In contrast, states like Connecticut require a business owner to register their DBA or trade name with the clerk of the town where they conduct business. To update the address on file, they’d need to contact the clerk to effect the change.
Managing an LLC involves keeping all business information up-to-date with the relevant authorities. Whether that entails making simple changes like updating the business address or undergoing more complex transitions, having the right information accessible is key.

Yes, LLCs typically need to supply a physical street address for the Articles of Organization. That said, a business owner doesn’t have to direct customers to shop at or visit that same physical address.
Whether the LLC needs a physical address — as opposed to a virtual address — depends on its circumstances. The main concern is whether the business wants or needs its customers to go to a physical store to shop for products. If that’s the case, a physical address may come in handy.

A business owner can use their home address on their Articles of Organization for their LLC. However, some entrepreneurs may prefer for this information to be private. Any address put on the Articles of Organization is usually published and searchable on the state’s website.
A principal office address is the primary business address on an LLC’s Articles of Organization. It’s the business’s official address, which the state government and other entities can use to contact the owner in some circumstances. For example, the Secretary of State may use the principal office address to send the business owner official mail, especially if the principal office address and the registered agent address are the same.
An LLC can typically use a PO box for mailing purposes, but it usually needs to provide a street address on the Articles of Organization. In some cases, the state’s law may let a business owner to keep this street address out of the public eye, but it depends on the state.
