There is no actual form specific to changing your registered agent for service of process in California. The only way to change your registered agent is to technically “update” it with the California Secretary of State by updating your statement of information. Your statement of information is similar to what most states call an annual report. If you’ve filed your statement of information recently, there is no fee to update it.
The process is quite simple-all you need to do is file a completed Statement of Information with the California Secretary of State, and your California registered agent for service of process information will update to us within a few weeks.
When you place an order on our website, we have the statement of information forms already filed out and ready to go in your online account.
For Corporations…
In order to change a registered agent for a corporation, you can complete the Statement of Information online here or you can print off a form, complete it, and mail it in to the Secretary of State.
NOTE: If you mail in the Statement of Information for filing, do not forget to include an extra copy and a S.A.S.E. so the Secretary of State can return a file-stamped copy to you for your records.
Currently, Statement of Information filings are taking about 3 weeks for processing.
Please remember, if you want to use our services, these forms are inside your online dashboard already with our information on them.
For LLC’s…
In order to change a registered agent for a LLC, you can print off a Statement of Information form, complete it, and mail it in to the Secretary of State.
Please remember, if you want to use our services and you are an LLC, the LLC statement of information is already inside your online dashboard and has our agent for service of process information on it.
