Change of domiciliation agent in Luxembourg, switch providers without disruption.
Changing domiciliation agent moves your company's registered office from your current agent to an attorney at law (avocat à la Cour, List I), without service interruption. We coordinate the file: takeover of registers, RCS and RBE updates, and an orderly transfer, including for a securities portfolio. Registered office update at the RCS: EUR 250 excl. VAT; domiciliation with the attorney at law (List I) from EUR 250 excl. VAT per month, subject to KYC acceptance. Domiciliation is provided by an attorney at law (avocat à la Cour) registered on List I of the Luxembourg Bar, Cerno Law, who contracts directly with you. Financial Services Luxembourg does not provide domiciliation itself: we coordinate it. Legal opinions and reserved acts are coordinated with our partner lawyers and notaries.

Frequently asked questions
How do I change domiciliation agent?
By terminating the existing agreement and signing a new one directly with an attorney at law (avocat à la Cour, List I), after onboarding KYC. Financial Services Luxembourg is not a party to that agreement: we coordinate the transfer, take over the corporate registers and coordinate the RCS and RBE update.
Is there a service interruption?
No, the transfer is planned to be continuous: the registered office, provided by the attorney at law (List I), and the follow-up of mail and obligations continue without interruption.
Can you transfer a securities portfolio?
We coordinate the administrative and accounting side of transferring a securities portfolio held by the company; market operations remain handled by the relevant bank or depositary.
Do you also take over the accounting?
Yes: a change of agent often comes with an accounting takeover, for a single point of contact.
