How to Change Your Registered Agent in Nevada

Changing your registered agent in Nevada is a straightforward process. The state charges a $60 filing fee to update your information, and the change typically takes just a few steps. Whether you're switching due to service issues, privacy concerns, or cost considerations, updating your registered agent is a normal part of managing your business.

Why Businesses Change Their Registered Agent

There are many legitimate reasons to update your registered agent:

Privacy Protection: If you've been serving as your own registered agent or using your business's primary address, your location is on public record with the Nevada Secretary of State. Switching to a professional service removes this information from public view and reduces unwanted solicitation.

Slow Document Forwarding: If your current agent takes days to send you important legal documents, you're losing valuable response time. When legal deadlines are involved, prompt forwarding matters.

Poor Communication: Unreturned emails, missing compliance reminders, or difficulty accessing your documents can put your business at risk. Reliable communication is essential for maintaining good standing.

High Costs: Many registered agent services charge $125 to $436 per year. If you're paying premium prices without receiving premium service, switching makes financial sense.

Business Changes: Moving operations, closing a Nevada office, or restructuring your business may mean your current registered agent arrangement no longer works.

Administrative Burden: If you've been serving as your own registered agent, you may find that managing document receipt and forwarding distracts from core business activities.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Nevada

The process is simple:

1. Choose a New Registered Agent Who Meets Nevada Requirements

Your new registered agent must meet Nevada's standards. Individual agents must be Nevada residents. Corporate agents must be located in Nevada. The agent must maintain a physical street address in Nevada (no PO boxes) and be available during normal business hours.

If your new agent is a commercial registered agent serving ten or more entities, they must be registered with the Nevada Secretary of State. Professional services like ours handle this registration.

2. File the Change Form with the Nevada Secretary of State

Nevada provides a registered agent change form that you'll submit to update your business records. The form typically requires your business name, entity number, the name and address of your new registered agent, and the effective date of the change.

3. Pay the $60 Filing Fee

Nevada charges a $60 state filing fee to process the registered agent change. This is a one-time cost paid to the state.

4. Confirm the Change in State Records

Once the Nevada Secretary of State processes your form, the update will appear in your business record. You can verify the change by checking your business status online through the Nevada Secretary of State's website.
