Changing the name of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a common legal process that businesses go through for reasons like rebranding, mergers, or compliance. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has laid down a clear process for LLP name change.

At LLPconsultant.com, we help LLPs across Gujarat and India manage name change filings smoothly and compliantly. Here’s a complete, updated guide to the process.

✅ When Should You Change Your LLP Name?

• Business rebranding or expansion
• Conflict with another name or trademark
• Entry into new markets
• Partner preference or restructuring

Changing the LLP name must be approved by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and reflected in your LLP Agreement and official records.

📝 Step-by-Step Process for LLP Name Change

Step 1: Pass a Resolution for Name Change

Before starting the process, the partners must pass a resolution or provide written consent approving the name change.

📌 Note: As per current ROC practices, a resolution/consent letter is also required at the RUN-LLP stage, even though it is not auto-validated on the portal. Always keep it ready and attach it while applying.

Step 2: Apply for Name Approval (RUN-LLP)

• File RUN-LLP (Reserve Unique Name – LLP) form online on the MCA portal.
• Submit two name options with appropriate justification.
• Attach the partners’ resolution or consent approving the proposed name.
• ROC usually responds within 2–3 working days.

✅ Important: Without attaching a resolution or consent, your RUN application may get queried or rejected by the ROC.

Step 3: File Form 5 for Name Change

Once the name is approved:

• File LLP Form 5 with ROC to officially change the name.
• Attach:
  • Partners’ resolution
  • Updated LLP Agreement

---

Step 4: Update LLP Agreement via Form 3

• Draft a Supplementary LLP Agreement with the new name.
• File LLP Form 3 with ROC to update the agreement.
• This completes the name change process.
