How to Update Business Address in GST Registration — REG-14 Guide - 2026
GST registration details — including your principal place of business address — must always reflect your actual business location. If your business moves to a new address, you must update it within a reasonable time by filing an amendment application on the GST portal. Operating from an address not registered in your GST certificate can lead to cancellation proceedings.
Step-by-Step Process
1
Login to GST Portal
Go to gst.gov.in → Services → Registration → Amendment of Registration Non-Core Fields (for address changes). Note: address change is a Non-Core amendment — it does not require officer approval and takes effect immediately.
2
Select Principal Place of Business
Under the Amendment form, go to the "Business Details" tab. Click the edit icon next to "Principal Place of Business". You can update the full address: building number, floor, street, locality, city, district, state, and PIN code.
3
Upload Address Proof
Upload a document proving the new address. Accepted documents: Own property — electricity bill, property tax receipt, or municipal khata. Rented property — rent agreement plus landlord's electricity bill or ownership document. Shared office — NOC from the owner plus the owner's electricity bill.
4
Update Contact Details if Changed
If your phone number or email has also changed along with the address, update those in the same amendment form (under "Authorised Signatory" section). Phone and email are used for OTPs and notice alerts.
5
Submit and Verify
After filling all changes, click "Save" and then "Submit" using DSC or EVC. The system generates an ARN (Acknowledgement Reference Number). For non-core amendments like address, the change is reflected immediately in your registration without waiting for officer approval.
6
Download Updated Certificate
After submission, a new Form REG-06 (GST certificate) is generated automatically with the updated address. Download it from Services → Registration → View/Download Certificates and replace the old certificate at your premises.
Pro Tips
Address change is a Non-Core amendment — it is system-approved and does not go to the officer. Changes take effect on the date of submission.
If you are moving to a different state, you cannot amend — you must cancel the current registration and obtain a fresh registration in the new state.
For additions of new branches or additional places of business, use "Amendment of Registration Core Fields" (which requires officer approval) or add them as additional places of business in the same form.
The name of the landlord on the NOC must match the name on the electricity bill or ownership proof — mismatches cause the amendment to be queried.
Penalty for Non-Compliance
⚠️ There is no specific penalty for delay in updating an address. However, operating from an unregistered address can be treated as failure to maintain proper records under Section 35, attracting penalty under Section 125 (up to ₹25,000). It can also be grounds for initiation of cancellation proceedings by the officer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Address change is a Non-Core amendment and is effective immediately upon submission. You can download the updated GST certificate right after filing the amendment.
No. If your business relocates to a different state, GST registration is state-specific. You must: surrender the existing registration in the old state (file GSTR-10 final return), apply fresh in the new state, and transfer or reverse the ITC balance.
Yes. From the effective date of the address change, all invoices must carry the updated address. Invoices with the old address are still valid for the period before the amendment, but using the old address after the change takes effect could create discrepancies.
