The influence of optical structure of compact extragalactic radio sources on the definition of their centroids is discussed. Numerical calculations are performed using 4C 31.63 as an example. The results show that the presence of the underlying luminous galaxy does not lead to an unusual decrease of the accuracy in the optical astrometric measurements.
