Rates as Low as $67/Year New York Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the New York Secretary of State's office on behalf of the corporate entity.

A registered agent is simply a person or entity appointed to accept service of process and official mail on your business' behalf. You can appoint yourself, or in many states, you can appoint your business to be its own registered agent.

You hire a new registered agent, file a Change of Registered Agent form with the state where the business is registered, and then cancel service with the old registered agent. Businesses can change registered agents at any time. Most states do, however, require a filing fee for the Change of Registered Agent form.

The Registered Agent must be a resident individual or a domestic or qualified out-of-state corporation, LLC or other business entity. The Registered Agent's office address must be a physical address in the state. This means that a P.O. box does not qualify as an in-state address.

There is no actual form specific to changing your registered agent for service of process in California. The only way to change your registered agent is to technically update it with the California Secretary of State by updating your statement of information.

The registered agent of a domestic corporation may change his or her own address on file with the New York Department of State by filing a Certificate of Change of Address of Registered Agent pursuant to Section 805-A(b) of the Business Corporation Law.
