What are the options and different ways you can change your Connecticut registered agent?

You can file by mail, fax, or walk in. If you file by fax you can choose normal or expedited processing. You will have to include your Visa or MasterCard information on the Fax Filing Service Request cover sheet. Walked in documents are accepted between 8:30 and 4:00.
