How to change your Registered Agent

Changing your registered agent is straightforward, but requires a small amount of work on your end. Every Secretary of State has a quick form specifically for changing your registered agent in that state. Some can be done online, but most require physical mail, like New York. Each state typically charges fees to change registered agents.

Most registered agents will assist you in the change registered process because it means that they will get a new customer. They may also cover the cost of switching.
