The Spanish Government issued Royal Decree-Law 15/2017 to resolve interpretative divergences regarding the authority of corporate administrative bodies to change a company's registered address within the national territory. The decree clarifies that such changes are inherently within the administrative body's competence unless the company's statutes explicitly and expressly deny this power. This measure aims to eliminate registration delays and ensure the effective exercise of business freedom and establishment rights across Spain.
