Federal law № 287-FZ dated August 8, 2024 made changes to the process of appointment and registration in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (hereinafter – «USRLE») of a new head (general director) of the legal entity.
According to the new procedure, it includes the following steps:
- The fact of making a decision on appointment of the new general director must be attested by a notary who certifies the presence of the participants/shareholders and authenticity of signatures on the document;
- The application on the established form about changes made in USRLE is also signed by a notary, and then the notary submits an application to the tax authority in electronic form. It is important to clarify that the new general director of the company does not need to visit the notary and participate in the procedure of his own appointment. It is only sufficient to indicate in the decision (minutes) that the new general director has been notified of his appointment.
Thus, the decision to change the general director must be notarized, regardless of whether the company has established an alternative procedure for certifying decisions by the charter or a separate decision (for example, by signing all participants). Certification of the decision on change/appointment of the general director and submission to the tax authority of the corresponding application is now carried out by a notary within a notarial act.
