Practical example of the Change of Address process. All the processes you must take into account.

So that you better understand the steps you must consider when making an address change, we present the following case. The company is:

Delibites SpA (dedicated to food production).

Initial Context: Move due to growth; need for a larger premises with better logistics.

Relocation: From a 45 m² premises in Ñuñoa to a 150 m² one in San Joaquín.

To carry out the address change, the organization must execute the following phases:

Phase 1: Planning and verification (before the procedures)

Analysis of the new premises:

• Land use: Request the Certificate of Prior Information (CIP) at the Municipality of San Joaquín to confirm it allows «food processing».
• Infrastructure: Technical review (architect) to meet requirements of the SEREMI de Salud.
• Legal Agreement: Signing of the Lease Agreement before a notary (essential document for the following steps).

Phase 2: Legal and tax procedures (mandatory sequential order). Correct Sequence: RES → SII → Municipality

• Step 1: Modification in RES (Tu Empresa en un Día) of the bylaws to update the registered office address to the San Joaquín address and obtain the Updated Bylaws Certificate.
• Paso 2: Informar al SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) el cambio de domicilio tributario. Esto se hace en la web del SII, con los documentos de contrato de arriendo. Con esto, la facturación electrónica reflejará la nueva dirección.

Phase 3: Sectoral and Municipal Procedures (other procedures you must carry out)

• Paso 3: Solicitud en SEREMI de Salud de una NUEVA Resolución Sanitaria para el local de San Joaquín (la antigua no es transferible). Este paso incluye presentación de planos, memoria técnica e inspección en terreno. De esta forma se obtiene permiso legal para producir alimentos en la nueva ubicación.
• Step 4: Management of the Commercial License, submitting the new Sanitary Resolution, the SII notice, and the RES bylaws.
  • At the municipality of origin (Ñuñoa): Request the «License Cancellation due to Relocation».
  • At the destination municipality (San Joaquín): Request a NEW Commercial License.

Phase 4: Operational Execution and Communication

• Suppliers: Notify the new delivery address.
• Delivery Platforms: Update the origin address in the apps (Rappi, Uber Eats, etc.).
• Clients (B2B): Communicate the change to coffee shops.
• Marketing: Update the address on the website, Google My Business, and social media.

Key lessons from the case

• Respect the Logical Order: Each procedure is a prerequisite for the next (RES → SII → SEREMI → Municipality).
• Prioritize Critical Permits: The Sanitary Resolution is the most important permit for a food business and must be managed in advance.
• Plan for continuity: Communication with suppliers and clients is essential to avoid interruption of operations.

Fundamental aspects of changing address

Making a change of commercial address is a fundamental strategic process that requires meticulous execution to ensure business continuity and legality. The key points are:

• It is a sequential and mandatory process: The strict order must be followed: Bylaws (RES/CBR) → SII → SEREMI Permits → Municipality. Altering this sequence causes rejections and delays.
• It involves multiple entities: There is no one-stop shop; coordination is required with the Company Registry, the SII, and the corresponding Municipality.
• La planificación previa es clave: Es esencial verificar el uso de suelo del nuevo local (mediante un Certificado de Informaciones Previas) antes de firmar cualquier contrato, para evitar problemas de operatividad.
• Requiere permisos sectoriales críticos: Empresas de rubros regulados (como alimentos o salud) deben obtener permisos adicionales, como la Resolución Sanitaria, que son indispensables para operar y obtener la patente.
• Poor management has serious consequences: Errors can lead to fines, billing interruptions, closure of the premises, and invalidity of legal acts.

In summary, the change of address must be approached with the same seriousness as the incorporation of the company, to protect its operation and allow its growth without risks.
