Switching Your New Jersey Registered Agent

The state charges $25 to process a registered agent change. You file a form, pay the fee, and within a few days your new agent is on record. It is one of the simpler things you will do for your business this year.

Common Reasons for Switching

• Your home address is currently on public record and you want it gone
• Your current agent takes too long to forward documents
• You are paying significantly more than $99/year for the same service
• The individual serving as your agent is no longer available or has moved
• You want proactive annual report reminders instead of silence

How to Switch

1. Choose your new agent. Must be an individual aged 18+ with a NJ physical address, or an authorized business entity. Remember — the LLC itself cannot be its own agent in New Jersey.

2. File the change form. Submit to the New Jersey Secretary of State with your entity name, ID, and new agent details.

3. Pay the $25 fee. One-time state charge for processing.

4. Wait for confirmation. The state updates your record, typically within a few business days. Your new agent is now official.

What We Handle

When you enroll:

• We give you the change form and step-by-step instructions
• You submit the form and $25 to the state
• We confirm when the update is live in state records
• From that point, all documents come to our NJ address
• We scan and forward everything the same day

After the Switch

Your service includes:

• Our NJ street address on your public filings
• Same-day document scanning and delivery
• Annual report reminders keyed to your formation anniversary month ($75 filing, due on the last day)
• Online portal with full document history
• Business-hours availability for service of process

What It Costs

No setup fee. No per-document charges. No surprises.

Transition Period

There is no gap in service. Documents sent before the state updates your record still go to your previous agent. Once the change is official, everything routes to us. The whole process is typically done within a week of filing.
