Registered Office Changes in Zimbabwe
Your registered office is where the law says notices can be served on your company. An outdated address is a real risk.
Last updated: 2026-08-06
Why the address matters
Formal notices — from the Registry, from creditors, from courts — are served at the registered office. If that address is stale, notices are deemed served even though nobody at your company ever sees them.
Which form applies
Notice of a company's registered office address is given on form CR5, prescribed under S.I. 46 of 2020.
What you need
- Company name and registration number
- The new registered office address, including province
- Postal address, if different
- The effective date of the change
- Board resolution approving the change and proof of the new address
Frequently asked questions
- Can my accountant's address be the registered office?
- A service provider's address can be used where they agree to receive notices on the company's behalf.
- How soon must I file?
- As soon as the change takes effect, so that service of notices remains reliable.
- Is proof of address required?
- Upload proof so your compliance officer can verify the new address before lodging the notice.
