How to Change Your Registered Agent in Louisiana

Changing your registered agent in Louisiana is straightforward. You'll file a form with the Louisiana Secretary of State, pay the required fee, and your new agent becomes the official point of contact. We'll help you get it done quickly.

Why Change Your Registered Agent?

Business owners switch registered agents for several reasons:

Privacy Concerns If you've been using your personal address, it's sitting in public state records. Switching to a professional service keeps your address private and off easily searchable databases.

Speed and Reliability Issues Your agent needs to be physically present during normal business hours (typically 8am to 5pm) to receive documents. If your current agent misses important notices or forwards documents late, you may face compliance problems or miss critical legal deadlines.

Cost Many services charge between $125 and $436 per year. Switching to a more affordable option can save money without sacrificing speed or service quality.

Relocation If you move out of Louisiana or your agent relocates, you'll need a new agent with a physical Louisiana address.

Business Changes If your business structure or ownership has changed, you may want to update your registered agent to reflect your current situation.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Louisiana

1. Choose a New Registered Agent Who Meets Louisiana Requirements

Your new agent must be an individual who is 18 or older and a Louisiana resident, or a business entity authorized in Louisiana. If you use a business entity, they must file a statement listing at least two individuals authorized to receive service of process. The agent must have a physical street address—no PO boxes or virtual offices—and be physically present during normal business hours.

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

Complete the registered agent change form and submit it to the Louisiana Secretary of State. The form updates your entity's records with the new agent's name and address.

3. Pay the $25 Filing Fee

The state charges $25 to file the agent change form. This fee is separate from any service fees your new agent charges.

4. Confirm the Change in State Records

Once the state processes your form, verify that your new agent appears in your entity's record. You can check this through the Louisiana Secretary of State's online database.
