Form 401 – Statement of Change
Trusted by businesses operating across all 50 states
We don't just give you a form to fill out. We prepare, file, and confirm your registered agent change in every state you operate.
We fill out and submit the official Statement of Change with your state — no legal jargon, no forms to figure out on your own.
Registered in Delaware and qualified in California and Texas? We handle the change-of-agent filing in each state simultaneously.
We coordinate timing so your old agent and new agent overlap. No window where legal notices could be missed or fall through the cracks.
Our team in your state accepts service of process, tax notices, and compliance documents on your behalf the moment the state confirms the change.
Every piece of mail we receive as your agent is scanned, stored in your dashboard, and forwarded the same business day.
Once the state processes the change, we send you the stamped confirmation and update your entity's records in your Kicker dashboard.
No courthouse trips, no confusing state portals — we handle the entire filing while you stay updated in real time.
Share your business name, state(s) of registration, and current agent — it takes under five minutes and we pull state records where available.
Our team prepares the correct Statement of Change form for each state, populated with your entity data and Kicker's agent information.
We submit the filing electronically or by mail — whichever the state requires — and track it through to confirmation with no action needed from you.
The state-stamped confirmation lands in your dashboard and all future documents route through Kicker automatically.
Why businesses switch
Your registered agent is a legal requirement — and a liability if they let anything slip through.
When your current agent is slow to forward legal notices, tax correspondence, or compliance warnings, you risk fines, default judgments, and loss of good standing.
As your business qualifies in additional states, a single registered agent across all of them keeps compliance centralized and predictable.
A professional registered agent keeps your home or office address out of publicly searchable state filings.
Registered agents can resign at any time and leave your entity exposed — we handle emergency switches quickly to restore coverage.
The state process is public — but "doable" and "worth your time" are different things.
No hidden fees, no surprise charges — just the state filing fee and the plan that fits your business.
Zero cost to move your registered agent to Kicker. Pay only the state filing fee.
Full registered agent service plus ongoing compliance monitoring.
One flat rate covers your registered agent in up to five states.

Switching to Kicker is free — we waive our service fee for the change-of-agent filing when you sign up for our registered agent service. You are responsible only for the state filing fee, which varies by state (typically $10–$60). We show you the exact amount before you confirm.
Most states process a change-of-agent filing within a few business days to a few weeks after submission, depending on the state and whether expedited service is purchased. California and New York are typically faster (roughly 3 business days), while Delaware (1–3 weeks standard) and Wyoming (up to 15 business days standard) take longer unless you pay for expedited handling. We track the filing and notify you the moment it is confirmed.
Yes. If your business is registered or qualified to do business in several states, we file the change-of-agent in each state simultaneously. Our Multi-State Bundle covers up to five states under one flat annual fee.
No — a registered agent change is a routine state filing and has no effect on your business's good standing, tax status, or legal entity. We ensure the transition is seamless so there is no gap in agent coverage.
We coordinate with your current agent to ensure any documents received during the transition period are properly forwarded. We overlap coverage intentionally so nothing is missed while the state processes the change.
The registered agent change is filed directly with the state — it is not something banks typically track. However, if you have contracts or loan documents that reference your registered agent's address, those may need updating separately. We flag this in your dashboard.
In most states, yes — you can file a change-of-agent even if your business has compliance issues. However, some states require you to be in good standing before accepting certain filings. We check your standing during intake and advise you accordingly.
Rejections are rare with correctly prepared filings. If one occurs, we identify the issue immediately, correct it, and refile at no additional charge. Our accuracy guarantee covers the entire process.
