What is a Registered Agent?

A Registered Agent is a designated person or organization that an entity, such as an LLC, C Corp, nonprofit, or any other type of entity, appoints to receive service of process notices, official government documents, and correspondence related to compliance on behalf of the company.

For What Reasons Should the Registered Agent Be Replaced?

Changing your company's Registered Agent might be necessary for a variety of reasons, including the following:

• The person who has been serving as your Registered Agent is relocating to another state.

• You have decided to expand your company into another state.

• Due to the time crunch, you chose to act as your own Registered Agent, which is something that we do not typically recommend.

• Your current Registered Agent service is not meeting your needs in the way that you had hoped.

Does the Business Entity type affect whether I Can Change My Registered Agent?

The answer is "No," since any business entity type may change its Registered Agent.

Blugency will handle the change of your company's Registered Agent, whether your business is structured as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), C Corporation, S Corporation, or Limited Liability Partnership, so that you can focus on other, more pressing matters.

Common Questions About Change of Registered Agent

Filing Articles of Amendment with the appropriate state office can take anywhere from one to two months. For Delaware, for instance, it takes more than twelve weeks to complete the procedure. On the other hand, in Texas, it takes five business days. Quicker processing is typically available for an additional fee in most states.

Q) Should I Get an Attorney's Opinion Before I File?

7

185

Consulting an attorney is optional to file an amendment. However, if you ever find yourself in a murky business situation, it's smart to get legal advice from a certified attorney to help you make the best possible call.

Q) After the Articles of Amendment are filed, what do I get?

7

185

If your company's registered agent is affiliated with us, we'll send you a copy of the amended articles once they've been filed; otherwise, the Secretary of State (in whichever state your company is incorporated) will send a copy to the company's registered office.

Q) When amending a foreign company, where do I file the articles of amendment?

7

185

Choose the foreign state your company is registered in from the "State of Service" drop-down list. In some cases, the state where your company is based may need more proof, like a Certificate of Good Standing, to process the amendment applications. Feel free to get in touch with our support team at any time if you need assistance.

Is There Any Consequence If I Fail to Appoint or Report a Change in Registered Agents?

7

185

Appointing a Registered Agent is a mandatory step in forming an LLC or Corporation so that someone can represent the entity with the Secretary of State and receive official documents on its behalf.

Failure to comply will result in a loss of good standing with the state and the imposition of significant fines.

Making a change to your company's Registered Agent without informing the Secretary of State could result in the loss of your eligibility for a certificate of good standing, a business license, your ability to enter into contracts, and your right to access the courts in your state, among other penalties. There may be additional costs and legal complications associated with reinstatement proceedings. Act immediately and avoid penalties!
