How to Change Your Nevada Registered Agent

The process of changing your Nevada Registered Agent truly is quite simple. The Nevada Secretary of State has created a "pre-made" form which will need to be filled out, signed by both a representative associated with the entity and also your new Nevada Registered Agent. Once signed, it will need to be filed with the Secretary of State.

The form that needs to be filed is titled "Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Represented Entity." A copy of the form can be downloaded from our web site by Clicking Here or you can also download it directly from the Nevada Secretary of State's web site (www.nvsos.gov).

Important Note: Before you begin filling out the form, if you are planning on changing Registered Agents to Nevada Business Services, we will fill out the form and also file it for you. All you will need to do is sign! Just give us a call and we will get to work right away.

Once the completed Statement of Change of Registered Agent form has been filed with the Nevada Secretary of State it will go into processing. Processing times vary depending on the time of year and the work load at the Nevada Secretary of State's office. Typically, it will take anywhere between 5 to 10 business days for the State to apply the changes. Keep a close eye on your entity during this time to make sure the changes are in fact made and made correctly (it is not common, but occasionally documents are lost or incorrectly recorded at the State). If there are any problems after processing is complete, notify the Secretary of State's office immediately!

TIME SAVER! At Nevada Business Services, we track the filing for you! If any problems arise with the filing, we notify the Secretary of State and have it taken care of for you!

Once processing is complete and you (or Nevada Business Services) has verified that the changes are correct, you are all set to go.

Costs Associated With Changing Your Nevada Registered Agent

When changing your Nevada Registered Agent there will be a few fees involved. Fortunately these fees are quite reasonable and, as mentioned in the previous section, if you are working with Nevada Business Services we discount our first year Registered Agent fee to help you keep them low.

The list below gives you an outline of what you are looking at cost wise. Please note: The State Fees quoted are the actual fees charged by the Nevada Secretary of State. Some companies mark these up when the provide pricing information, we do not.

    • Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Represented Entity - $60.00

  • Nevada Business Services
    • First Year Registered Agent Fee (Discounted) - $40.00

Additional Details Which May Affect Cost

There are a few situations that are occasionally encountered when needing to change your Nevada Registered Agent. These situations will increase the State fees outlined above (The Registered Agent fee from Nevada Business Services stays the same).

Fortunately, we know what these situations are and how much they will increase the fees by. Details regarding these situations are provided below:

Expediting the Statement of Change of Registered Agent Form
Occasionally, it is necessary to change your Nevada Registered Agent and you simply cannot wait for the Secretary of State to process the document under ordinary lead times (approximately 5 - 10 business days). If you find yourself in this position, you can utilize the Nevada Secretary of State's "24 Hour Expediting" service. This will increase the State fees quoted above by $25.00, but it will ensure that the change of Registered Agent is processed within 24 hours of the document being filed.

Registered Agent Resignation If your previous Nevada Registered Agent has "Resigned" you have 30 days to find a new one and file the Change of Registered Agent form with the Nevada Secretary of State. If you do not have a new Registered Agent appointed within 30 days, your entity will go into "Default" status. Once your entity is in Default, you will have to pay a $75.00 late filing fee in addition to the $60.00 quoted above.
