What is a registered business address in Austria?

A registered business address is a real address with street and house number at which a company can legally receive official and court documents, that is, a place of delivery under the Austrian Service of Documents Act. A P.O. box does not qualify, because no authorised person is present there to accept the item.

The official wording

„Die Geschäftsanschrift ist für die Zustellung von gerichtlichen Sendungen maßgeblich. Im Firmenbuch eingetragene Unternehmen müssen ihre Geschäftsanschrift verpflichtend ins Firmenbuch eintragen. Die eingetragene Adresse gilt außerdem als Zustelladresse für alle behördlichen Zustellungen.“

Source: Business Service Portal of the Republic of Austria (USP), retrieved 3 September 2026. Translation by Postservice.at: the business address is decisive for the service of court documents, companies listed in the Austrian commercial register must register it, and the registered address also counts as the delivery address for all official service.

In practice this means three things: the address must physically exist, it must be entered in the commercial register, and someone there must accept official mail. A business address from Postservice.at in 1010 Vienna meets all three. It is the basis for the commercial register entry, for trade registration and for the legal notice required by the Austrian E-Commerce Act.

Legal background: Companies subject to commercial register requirements must register a business address relevant for service of documents under the Austrian Commercial Register Act (Firmenbuchgesetz) (§ 3(1) no. 4 FBG). If service fails there, the commercial register court tries the private addresses of the persons authorised to represent the company and can then serve via the official edict file, the Ediktsdatei (§ 21(3) FBG).

Frequently asked questions about a registered business address

What exactly does 'court-recognized' mean?

Court-recognized means that official documents (e.g. court summonses, administrative notices) can be provably delivered to this address. An authorized person must be able to accept the item.

What is the difference between a P.O. box and a registered business address?

A P.O. box is not a geographic address and does not allow personal delivery by the postal carrier. A registered business address has a specific street and house number where a person can receive mail in person, which is mandatory for official deliveries.

What are RSa and RSb letters?

RSa (personal registered letter) may be delivered to the addressee in person or to a person holding a postal power of attorney, but not to substitute recipients without such authority. RSb (registered letter with proof of delivery) can be delivered to the addressee or to other persons present. With Premium, we collect RSa and RSb mail held at the post office using a postal authorisation. With Basic and Plus, we receive the collection notices; you collect the mail from the post office yourself. Items marked “Nicht an Postbevollmächtigte” must be collected by you in person.

Can I use a registered business address for my trade?

Yes, our address is suitable as a business address for trade registration, commercial register entry and all official purposes. It meets all statutory requirements for a registered business address.

What happens when an RSb letter arrives?

We receive the collection notice (“yellow slip”) for your RSb letter and notify you by email. With Premium, we collect the letter held at the post office using a postal authorisation and send you the scan as a PDF by email. With Basic and Plus, you collect the item from the post office yourself.

Can I register the address in the commercial register, even before incorporation?

Yes. The address Seitenstettengasse 5/37, 1010 Vienna can be registered as a company seat in the Austrian commercial register. Postservice.at issues the written consent declaration of the address holder within one business day, which your notary needs for the commercial register application. You can therefore book the address before incorporation and state it in the founding application.

Is the address accepted by the trade authority, the tax office and the SVS?

Yes. The address in 1010 Vienna is a court-recognized business address and is recognised as a place of business. A trade licence is granted for a specific location: for location-independent activities such as consulting, IT or trade, the Postservice.at address is that location. Your business mail is received there, the office is staffed Monday to Friday, and there are workspaces, coworking and a meeting room. For workshops, warehouses or retail premises you additionally register these as a further operating site. The tax office and the social insurance for the self-employed send their letters to the business address registered in the commercial register or in the GISA trade register, which is your address at Postservice.at.

Do you accept RSa and RSb letters for me, and do I need my own postal authorization?

With Premium, at 129 euros net per month with annual billing, we collect your RSa and RSb mail held at the post office using a postal authorisation. Items marked “Nicht an Postbevollmächtigte” (not for authorised postal representatives) must be collected by you in person. The postal authorization is deposited jointly at the responsible post office; in the Premium plan we accompany you through this process and handle the formalities. With Basic and Plus, we receive the collection notices; you collect the mail from the post office yourself. As of October 2026.

What happens if the postal carrier leaves a yellow notification slip?

A yellow slip means the item has been deposited at the post office, and from that point the deemed-service rule can start to run. Postservice.at receives the collection notice and notifies you by email so you can collect the item in person in time. With Premium, we collect your RSa and RSb mail held at the post office using a postal authorisation. Items marked “Nicht an Postbevollmächtigte” (not for authorised postal representatives) must be collected by you in person.
