How to Change Your Registered Agent in North Dakota

Changing your registered agent in North Dakota is a straightforward process. Whether you're switching from another service, updating from an individual agent, or simply need a more reliable solution, you can make the change by filing a form with the North Dakota Secretary of State.

Why Businesses Change Their Registered Agent

There are many practical reasons to change your registered agent:

Your current agent is no longer available or responsive. Perhaps an individual who was serving as your agent has moved out of state, retired, or is no longer willing to serve in that role.

You want privacy protection. If you've been using your home address or personal office, switching to a professional service removes your personal address from public records and reduces unwanted solicitations.

You need better reliability. A professional registered agent service ensures someone is always available during business hours to accept documents, with systems in place for immediate forwarding and compliance reminders.

You're simplifying your business operations. Managing your own registered agent duties means being available during business hours at a North Dakota address. A professional service handles this for you at $99 per year.

Your business circumstances have changed. Maybe you've moved out of state, closed a physical office, or need to consolidate services across multiple business entities.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent

Changing your registered agent in North Dakota involves several straightforward steps:

Choose a new registered agent who meets North Dakota requirements. Individuals must be North Dakota residents with a physical address. Business entities must be registered, in good standing, and have a business office in the state. Remember that your business entity may not serve as its own registered agent.

File the change form with the North Dakota Secretary of State. This form includes information about your business entity and your new registered agent. The form notifies the state of the change and updates their records accordingly.

Pay the $10 filing fee. North Dakota charges a $10 fee to process the change of registered agent form. This is separate from any fees charged by your new registered agent service.

Confirm the change in state records. Once the North Dakota Secretary of State processes your filing, the change becomes effective. You can verify the update by checking your business entity records with the state.

When you sign up with North Dakota Registered Agent, we handle the paperwork for you. We prepare and file the change form, track the filing with the state, and confirm when everything is complete. You'll receive access to your online portal and can start using your new registered office address as soon as the change is processed.

Why Switch to North Dakota Registered Agent

Professional registered agent services in North Dakota typically charge $125 to $436 annually. At $99 per year, we provide the same essential features—physical address, document forwarding, compliance reminders, and portal access—without premium pricing.

Our focus is simple: reliable registered agent service without complications. You receive a physical registered office address in Bismarck, same-day scanning and forwarding of all documents, reminders about North Dakota's annual report deadline (November 15, $50 fee), and secure online access to your forwarded documents.

We're available during regular business hours to accept service of process and official correspondence, exactly as North Dakota requires. Our address appears on your public filings instead of your home or personal office, protecting your privacy and presenting a professional image.

Making the Switch Is Easy

Switching registered agents doesn't disrupt your business operations. There's no lapse in coverage—your new agent takes over the responsibilities, and the state records are updated to reflect the change.

The entire process typically takes just a few business days once you've submitted your change form. During that transition, you may want to notify your previous agent (if you had one) that you're making a change, though this isn't legally required.
