Missed or slow document delivery

What's included
Everything handled — start to confirmation
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.
State filing prepared for you
We fill out and submit the official Statement of Change with your state — no legal jargon, no forms to figure out on your own.
Every state you operate in
Registered in Delaware and qualified in California and Texas? We handle the change-of-agent filing in each state simultaneously.
Seamless transition — zero gaps
We coordinate timing so your old agent and new agent overlap. No window where legal notices could be missed or fall through the cracks.
Kicker accepts as your new agent
Our team in your state accepts service of process, tax notices, and compliance documents on your behalf the moment the state confirms the change.
Document forwarding, same day
Every piece of mail we receive as your agent is scanned, stored in your dashboard, and forwarded the same business day.
Confirmation delivered to you
Once the state processes the change, we send you the stamped confirmation and update your entity's records in your Kicker dashboard.
How it works
Switch in four steps
No courthouse trips, no confusing state portals — we handle the entire filing while you stay updated in real time.
- Step 1
Tell us your entity details
Share your business name, state(s) of registration, and current agent — it takes under five minutes and we pull state records where available.
- Step 2
We prepare the state filing
Our team prepares the correct Statement of Change form for each state, populated with your entity data and Kicker's agent information.
- Step 3
Filed with the state
We submit the filing electronically or by mail — whichever the state requires — and track it through to confirmation with no action needed from you.
- Step 4
You're switched — we take it from here
The state-stamped confirmation lands in your dashboard and all future documents route through Kicker automatically.
Why businesses switch
Common reasons to change your agent
Your registered agent is a legal requirement — and a liability if they let anything slip through.
Expanding to new states
As your business qualifies in additional states, a single registered agent across all of them keeps compliance centralized and predictable.
Privacy — keep your address off the public record
A professional registered agent keeps your home or office address out of publicly searchable state filings.
Agent resigning or going out of business
Registered agents can resign at any time and leave your entity exposed — we handle emergency switches quickly to restore coverage.

FAQ
Registered agent change — questions answered
Everything you need to know before you switch. Can't find an answer? Talk to our team.
How much does it cost to change my registered agent?
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.
How long does a registered agent change take?
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.
Can I change my registered agent in multiple states at once?
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.
Will changing my registered agent affect my business standing?
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.
What happens to documents sent to my old agent during the switch?
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.
Do I need to notify my bank or other parties about 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.
Can I change my registered agent if my business is not in good standing?
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.
What if the state rejects my change-of-agent filing?
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.
