Switching Your Vermont Registered Agent

Changing your registered agent in Vermont takes one form and a $25 state fee. The process is fast and the Secretary of State handles it promptly. Here is everything you need to know.

Common Reasons Businesses Switch

Your address is exposed. If you currently serve as your own agent, your home or office address sits in the Secretary of State's public database. A professional service removes it.

Your current provider is expensive. Many agents charge $150 to $400 annually for the same core service we offer at $99/year.

Document handling is slow. If your current agent takes days to forward documents, you risk missing legal deadlines. We scan and send everything the same day it arrives.

You moved or went remote. If you no longer have a physical Vermont presence, you need a registered agent who does.

The Process: Four Steps

1. Choose your new agent. The new agent must meet Vermont requirements: individual Vermont resident, or a business entity authorized in the state. Physical street address required — no PO boxes or virtual offices.

2. File the change with the Vermont Secretary of State. Submit the change of registered agent form. This names your current agent, designates the new one, and provides the new registered office address.

3. Pay the $25 filing fee. This goes directly to the Secretary of State. It is a one-time cost separate from any service fees.

4. Verify the update. After processing, confirm through the Secretary of State's online database that your new agent is listed correctly.
