What are the options and different ways you can change your Arkansas registered agent?
Form:
You can change your Arkansas registered agent by filing a form with the Arkansas Secretary of State, Business and Commercial Services (BCS). You can print a copy and mail or personally deliver it to BCS.
Online:
You can also change your agent online at BCS website (see link below). Just click the ONLINE link next to the form. File online and pay by credit card or electronic check.
Amendment:
You can change your registered agent by amending your articles of incorporation or organization, but there is a filing fee for amendments, so this would only make sense if you were already filing an amendment for another reason.
To ensure your former agent’s service and obligations come to a full stop, check out our Arkansas registered agent resignation page.
