Every Maltese company is required by law to maintain a registered office located in Malta from the moment of incorporation. This is the statutory address at which the company can be served with notices, court documents, and official correspondence from the Malta Business Registry (MBR), the Commissioner for Revenue (CFR), the FIAU, and other regulators — and it is the address that appears on the public company file.
We provide a fully compliant registered office address, operated by a licensed corporate services provider, and registered directly with the MBR. The service goes beyond a simple mailbox: we receive, log, digitally scan, and forward your statutory correspondence with same-day turnaround, so deadlines, filings, and regulatory notices are never missed.
This service is essential for foreign-owned Maltese companies, holding structures, remote-first businesses, and any entity that does not maintain its own premises in Malta — and is typically activated alongside company incorporation or when migrating an existing company to Malta.
Our registered office service covers every legal and operational requirement under the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta) and applicable AML legislation:
- Registered office address filed with the Malta Business Registry on incorporation or via Form L on transfer.
- Company name display at the premises, in compliance with Article 69 of the Companies Act.
- Receipt and logging of all official correspondence from the MBR, CFR, VAT Department, FIAU, courts, and other regulators.
- Same-day digital scanning of inbound mail with email notification to your authorised contacts.
- Physical mail forwarding on a weekly schedule, on-demand, or held for collection — your choice.
- Service of process handling — receipt of court documents, judicial notices, and statutory communications.
- Address change filings with the MBR if you switch provider, relocate, or restructure.
- Cooperation with inspections by the MBR, FIAU, and tax authorities when required.
- Statutory privacy — your personal residential address is kept off the public MBR record.
- Annual renewal with the option to bundle with director and company secretary services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a registered office address mandatory for a Maltese company?
+
Yes. Under the Companies Act (Chapter 386), every Maltese company must have a registered office located in Malta from the moment of incorporation. The address must be displayed at the premises and registered on the public file at the Malta Business Registry.
Can I use my home or rented office as the registered office?
+
Yes, provided the property is in Malta and the lawful occupier consents. However, most clients prefer a professional registered office service to keep their personal address off the public MBR record, ensure consistent mail handling, and remain compliant if they change residence or move offices.
What kind of mail is received at the registered office?
+
The registered office receives all official statutory correspondence — including MBR notices, tax assessments from the CFR, VAT Department communications, FIAU letters, court documents, and regulator correspondence. It is intended for official mail, not for general commercial post.
How quickly will I receive my mail?
+
All inbound correspondence is logged and digitally scanned the same business day, with email notification to your authorised contacts. Original documents can be forwarded weekly, on-demand, or held for collection, depending on your preference.
Can I change my registered office later?
+
Yes. The registered office can be changed at any time by filing the appropriate notice (Form L) with the MBR. We handle the filing as part of the service and notify all relevant authorities so there is no break in compliance.
Is this the same as a virtual office or trading address?
+
No. A registered office is a statutory address for legal and regulatory correspondence, recognised under the Companies Act. A virtual office is a commercial product for general business mail and marketing purposes. We provide the registered office; trading and virtual address services are offered separately if required.
Will the company name be displayed at the premises?
+
Yes. We comply with Article 69 of the Companies Act, which requires every Maltese company to have its registered name displayed at the registered office in a conspicuous, legible position.
Can I bundle this service with other compliance services?
+
Yes. Most clients combine the registered office with resident director and company secretary services, tax advisory, and ongoing accounting support. Bundling reduces administrative friction and ensures every compliance obligation is covered by a single provider.
