Change Your Nevada Registered Agent: Form, Fee, and Steps

Changing your registered agent in Nevada is a single filing with the Secretary of State. The official document is the Registered Agent Acceptance / Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Represented Entity, authorized by NRS 77.340, and the state charges a $60 fee to process it. Whether you are leaving a slow provider, protecting your privacy, or stepping down as your own agent, the mechanics are the same and they are simple.

The Official Nevada Change Form

Nevada does not number its Secretary of State forms, so you will find this one by name: the Registered Agent Acceptance / Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Represented Entity under NRS 77.340. You can download the official form directly from the Secretary of State, and it is filed with the Commercial Recordings Division. The same change can also be submitted online through the state's SilverFlume portal.

The form asks for your entity's name, the outgoing agent's information, and the new agent's name and Nevada street address, along with the new agent's acceptance of the appointment.

Why Businesses Change Their Registered Agent

Privacy protection: If your own address sits in the state's public records as the registered office, every entity search surfaces it. Appointing a professional agent replaces it with ours.

Slow document forwarding: An agent who sits on served papers for days is spending your response window. Legal deadlines do not pause while mail wanders.

Unreliable communication: Missed reminders and unanswered questions from an agent are warning signs. Your good standing depends on notices actually reaching you.

Price creep: Plenty of Nevada agents renew at well over $200 a year for the same core service we deliver for $99.

Business changes: Closing an office, relocating, or restructuring often leaves the old agent arrangement pointing at the wrong address.

Wearing too many hats: Serving as your own agent chains someone to the office during business hours. Many owners eventually decide that job belongs to a professional.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Nevada

1. Pick a new registered agent who qualifies under Nevada law. The agent needs a physical street address in the state and availability during normal business hours; commercial agents representing ten or more entities must be registered with the Secretary of State.
2. Complete the Registered Agent Acceptance / Statement of Change form with your entity information and the new agent's details, and have the new agent accept the appointment.
3. Submit the form to the Nevada Secretary of State's Commercial Recordings Division, by mail, in person, or online through SilverFlume.
4. Pay the $60 filing fee when you submit. It is a one-time charge paid to the state.
5. Watch for the update in the state's business records and confirm your new agent appears before you stop monitoring the old address.

The $60 State Fee, and What We Charge

Nevada's $60 covers the state's processing of the change. On our side, providing the completed form and instructions is part of enrollment, so switching to us means:

• $60 to the State of Nevada, once
• $99 per year for our registered agent service, with no setup charge

What Happens During the Transition?

Until the Secretary of State records the change, documents can still land at your old registered office. Keep that channel open for a few days after filing, especially if you were acting as your own agent. Once the record updates, everything routes to our Nevada address, and we scan and send each document to you the day it arrives.

Why Make Us the New Agent?

Same-day forwarding: Documents are scanned and delivered to your inbox the day we receive them.

A private public record: Our address appears on your filings so yours does not.

Deadline reminders: Nevada expects the Annual List and State Business License renewal every year, $350 combined. We remind you before your anniversary month closes so the penalties never enter the picture.

Online portal: Every document we have ever forwarded stays available in your account.

Flat pricing: $99 per year, every year, with nothing bolted on.
