How to Change Your Registered Agent in Pennsylvania

Changing your registered agent is straightforward when you understand the process and requirements. Businesses change agents for various strategic and operational reasons.

Common Reasons for Changing Registered Agents

Privacy protection. If you are currently serving as your own agent, your personal address appears on public records with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. Anyone can search your business online and access this information. Switching to a professional service protects your privacy.

Service quality issues. Missed documents or delayed forwarding can create significant problems for your business. When your agent does not notify you promptly about legal papers or state correspondence, you risk missing critical deadlines with serious consequences.

Cost optimization. Some registered agent services charge $300, $400, or more each year. Others impose additional fees for document scanning, portal access, or compliance notifications. You may achieve better value with a different provider.

Business transitions. Relocating your business, closing an office, or restructuring your operations may make your current agent arrangement impractical or inefficient.

Availability challenges. If you are serving as your own agent but travel frequently or maintain irregular hours, you might miss important documents that arrive during regular business hours.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Pennsylvania

Choose a new registered agent who meets Pennsylvania requirements. Individuals must be 18 years or older with a physical Pennsylvania address. Business entities must be authorized to operate in Pennsylvania. The agent needs a physical street address — Pennsylvania does not permit PO boxes.

File the change form with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. The specific form depends on your business entity type. The form generally includes your current business information, existing agent details, and new agent information.

Pay the filing fee. Pennsylvania charges $5 for domestic entities to change their registered agent. Foreign entities pay $250 for this filing. This is a state fee, separate from any charges by your new agent service.

Confirm the change in state records. After filing, verify that the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's business database shows your updated agent information correctly. This typically updates within a few business days.
