When you started your company, you most likely designed a Registered Agent. And now you are thinking to change your registered agent for different reasons.

You can be rest assured, the process of changing an existing registered agent is not complicated. Just be sure to do it correctly so that you stay compliant with state laws.

Of course there are many reasons that might make the change of your registered agent necessary. Often – and to safe costs – people designated a member of their LLC as the registered agent while forming the company. But over time this person cannot fulfill the “always be there policy” due to the expansion of the business. And surely there are more important daily tasks to take care of.

Or this person changed his private address. And therefore the address then officially needs to be changed for the Registered Agent as well.

Or the existing registered agent is not performing well or the costs are too high.

The process to change the registered agent might vary from state to state. Also, there might be different fees for each state. These fees vary from zero to a small fee.

You can of course do the research on your own – check for the fees and find the right forms that need to be filled. Most states provide downloadable forms on their websites.

But to be 100% sure that the change is performed correctly, Clevver offers a FREE CHANGE service. Just tell us your existing Registered Agent and we take care of all paperwork and file the change on time.
