Definition of Taiwan Company Registered Address
In Taiwan, every company is required to have a registered business at the time of incorporation, commonly referred to as the company’s registered office. Many people assume that the registered office is the same as the place where the company conducts business operations and opens for daily business activities. However, the registered office legally refers to the central location of the company’s legal affairs, including debt settlement, jurisdiction for legal proceedings, and the delivery of official documents and notices. These legal matters are all determined based on the company’s registered office. Therefore, it is essential that the address be genuine, lawful, and capable to reliably receiving commercial and legal correspondence. In practice, a company registered office (i.e., registered address) does not necessarily have to be the same as its actual place of business operations.
A company’s registered office may be established at any address in Taiwan that has been assigned an official street number by the household registration authority. If the building has multiple floors and is owned by a single owner, the company’s registered office may be registered on a specific floor in accordance with the floor designation stated in the property ownership certificate or the building registration transcript.
However, before registering a company, it is important to confirm that the proposed registered address complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including local urban planning regulations, non-urban land use control regulations, building administration requirements, fire safety regulations, and public health regulations. For addresses located in Taipei, it is also necessary to verify that the actual business premises comply with zoning regulations and building administration requirements before the address may be registered and used for company registration purposes.
