How to resign as registered agent in Arkansas:
To resign as a registered agent in Arkansas, file a signed statement of resignation with the Arkansas Secretary of State, Business and Commercial Services (BCS). The statement has to include the name of the entity, the name of the agent, the statement that the agent resigns, and the name and address of the person to which the agent will send notice.
Do you have to notify the Arkansas entity you’re serving as registered agent for before you resign or after?
The Arkansas registered agent has to “promptly” give the business entity notice of the resignation. BCS does not specify a timeframe or define what “promptly” means, but the notice you send to the corporation or LLC must include the date when you filed the resignation with Arkansas BCS.
Is there a fee to resign as the Arkansas resident agent for a corporation, LLC, or other business entity?
There is no fee to resign as the Arkansas registered agent.
How long will it take the state to process the Arkansas resignation of registered agent filing?
BCS completes filings within two days.
If you bring documents to the office, BCS will file them while you wait.
How long do you still have to serve as the registered agent after the filing? How long will you have to legally accept service of process after you’ve resigned as agent?
The registered agent’s appointment ends on the 31st day after resignation is filed or upon the appointment of a new registered agent for the entity, whichever happens first. When either of those things happens, the registered agent is no longer responsible for accepting service of process for the corporation or LLC.
