How To Resign As A Registered Agent In Montana

No. There is no fee to resign as a Montana registered agent.

Yes. Persons with authority in the corporation or LLC, including Montana registered agents, can submit business filings online via a Montana ePass account. Once the registered agent sets up their ePass account, the company should be listed on the Dashboard of their ePass homepage. The registered agent can then access the company’s filings.

Standard processing time for the resignation of a Montana registered agent is 2-5 business days. Processing may be expedited for additional fees: $20 for priority handling (processed within 24 hours) and $100 for expedited handling (processed within one hour). The Montana Secretary of State accepts checks and credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express). Make checks payable to “Montana Secretary of State”.

The Montana registered agent’s resignation is effective as of the 31st day after filing with the Secretary of State or upon appointment of a new registered agent, whichever comes first.

Corporations and LLCs are required by Montana state law to maintain a registered agent during the life of the company. If a Montana company is without a registered agent for sixty days, the company can be administratively dissolved. To change registered agents, submit a Statement of Change of Registered Agent/Registered Office to the Secretary of State.
