What are the options and different ways you can change your Pennsylvania registered agent?
The state refers to a Pennsylvania registered agent as Commercial Registered Office Provider (CROP). All corporations, both for profit and nonprofit, may change registered office providers by sending the completed Change of Registered Office (15 Pa. C.S. 1507-8506) form to the Pennsylvania Department of State, Corporation Bureau, by mail, in person, or online. Domestic Limited Partnerships use the same form to change CROP. A Limited Liability Company uses Certificate of Change of Registered Office Limited Liability Company (DSCB: 15-8906). The registered agent provider does not sign the form.
