How to Change Your Registered Agent in Georgia

Changing registered agents in Georgia is a systematic process. Whether you require enhanced service quality, more transparent pricing, or privacy protection, you can update your registered agent information with the Georgia Secretary of State by following established procedures.

Why Change Your Registered Agent?

Service Quality Concerns If your current registered agent provides slow document forwarding, inadequate communication, or lacks compliance support, your business faces unnecessary risk. Professional, responsive service is essential when dealing with legal deadlines and state requirements.

Pricing Considerations Many registered agent services charge $125 to $436 per year, sometimes with additional fees for document scanning or forwarding. Transparent pricing with comprehensive features simplifies budgeting.

Privacy Protection If you initially designated yourself or used your business address as your registered agent, your information appears on public business records. Transitioning to a professional service protects your privacy.

Relocation If your current registered agent no longer maintains a Georgia address or residency, you will need to designate a new agent who meets the state's requirements.

Enhanced Compliance Support Georgia's annual registration is due between January 1 and April 1. A registered agent that provides systematic compliance reminders helps you avoid penalties and maintain good standing.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Georgia

1. Choose a new registered agent who meets Georgia requirements Your new agent must be a Georgia resident (if an individual) or a domestic or foreign corporation. Note that LLCs cannot serve as entity registered agents in Georgia. The agent must have a physical street address in the state and be available during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM weekdays). Georgia does not permit self-appointment.

2. File the change form with the Georgia Secretary of State You will submit the appropriate form through the Secretary of State's online system or by mail. The form requires your business information, current registered agent details, and new registered agent information.

3. Pay the $30 filing fee Georgia charges a $30 filing fee for an amended registration to process registered agent changes. This fee is paid to the Secretary of State, not to your new registered agent.

4. Confirm the change in state records Once the Secretary of State processes your filing, you can verify the update by searching for your business entity in the state's online database. The new registered agent information will appear in your public business records.

Why Change to Georgia Registered Agent?

Professional Service We maintain systematic operations and consistent availability during Georgia's required business hours. No automated systems, no delayed responses—professional service designed to support your compliance requirements.

Same-Day Document Handling We scan and email documents the same day they arrive, ensuring you have immediate access to legal notices, service of process, or compliance matters. Originals are forwarded to your designated mailing address.

Competitive Pricing At $99 per year with no hidden fees, we provide comprehensive registered agent service for less than most Georgia services while maintaining professional standards.

Systematic Compliance Alerts We provide advance notification about Georgia's annual registration deadline (January 1 to April 1) and other filing requirements, supporting your efforts to maintain good standing with the Secretary of State.

Privacy Protection Our Atlanta address appears on your public business filings instead of your home or office, protecting your personal information from public databases.

Systematic Transition Process

When you enroll with Georgia Registered Agent, we provide the information you need to complete your change form with the Georgia Secretary of State. Once your filing is processed and the $30 state fee is paid, we will immediately begin receiving documents on your behalf.

You do not need to notify your previous registered agent before filing the change—the state will update the records, and your former agent will no longer receive documents for your business.
