This depends on which address you are changing. If only the company’s registered office address or business correspondence address changes, while the licensed premises used to store pharmaceutical products remain unchanged, this is an administrative change of particulars. You must notify the regulatory authorities in writing to update their records, but this will not usually affect the validity of the licence. The key point is that you must never store pharmaceutical products at a new business registration address that has not been approved under the licence. A pharmaceutical licence is strictly tied to the premises used for storing pharmaceutical products.
