Your LLP’s name is your business identity – but sometimes you may want to change it for better branding, to reflect a new business direction, due to a partner change, or on legal advice. Whatever the reason, changing the name of your Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) requires proper approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and amendments to the LLP Agreement.
With CallMyCA, the entire name change process becomes smooth, legal, and error-free. We manage everything — from checking name availability, preparing the necessary documentation, to filing with ROC — so that you can focus on your business while we handle the paperwork.
Changing the name of an LLP means officially updating the registered name with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through a legal procedure defined under the LLP Act, 2008. It requires:

You can apply for a name change at any time after registration. Whether it’s due to branding, legal reasons, or business direction, you must pass a resolution among partners and complete ROC filings via Form 1 and Form 5 to make it official.
Form 1 is used to reserve the proposed name with the ROC. Once approved, Form 5 is used to officially change the LLP's name. Both forms are mandatory and must be filed within the prescribed timeline, supported with partner resolutions and a revised LLP agreement.
Generally, the process takes 7 to 10 working days. It depends on how quickly the partners sign the resolution and how fast the MCA approves the proposed name and Form 5 application.
Yes. Once the name change is approved, the MCA will issue a new Certificate of Incorporation with your updated LLP name. This is an official proof of name change and must be used in future filings and documents.
Yes. After the name change, you must update your new name with banks, GST, PAN, contracts, invoices, and all other government records. CallMyCA can help you with post-name-change compliances as well.
Yes, MCA can reject the name if it’s similar to another registered business, contains restricted words, or violates naming guidelines. That’s why CallMyCA first checks name availability and suggests only MCA-compliant options.
Yes, you need to pass a resolution signed by all the partners agreeing to the name change. Without their consent, the application cannot move forward.
Only LLPs registered in India can change their name through Form 1 and Form 5. For foreign LLPs, a different process may apply under FEMA and RBI guidelines.
Yes, government fees are applicable while filing Form 1 and Form 5. The amount depends on your LLP's contribution. CallMyCA includes these costs transparently in the final quote.
You can do both, but they require separate filings – one for name change (Form 5) and one for registered address change (Form 15). CallMyCA helps you file both accurately.
