To change a Nevada registered agent, file a statement of change with the Secretary of State under NRS 77.340. The fee is $60. The owners do not need to vote on it. The new agent accepts the appointment, and the change takes effect on filing. An agent who wants to quit files a statement of resignation instead.

When an agent resigns
An agent can resign by filing a statement of resignation. If yours resigns, appoint a replacement promptly, because default notices and lawsuits go to the agent.

Moving to a commercial agent
Owners who started as their own agent often switch when they move or want privacy. A commercial agent only needs to be named.

Step by step
First, pick the new agent and confirm that it accepts the appointment; a commercial registered agent registered with the Secretary of State only needs to be named, while a noncommercial agent gives a Nevada street address. Second, file the statement of change with the $60 fee under NRS 77.340. Third, tell the old agent so it stops forwarding and closes your account. Fourth, check the online record to confirm the change, and make sure your next annual list shows the new agent.
Common reasons to switch
Owners who started as their own agent often switch when they move out of Nevada, when they want their home address off the public record, or when they travel and worry about missing a lawsuit or a default notice. Companies also switch when an accountant or attorney who served as agent retires or closes the practice.
If the old agent resigned first
An agent can resign by filing a statement of resignation, which costs the agent $100 for the first entity listed. Once an agent resigns, appoint a replacement promptly. A company without a working agent can miss service of process and end up with a default judgment, or miss the Secretary of State's default notice and slide into revocation.
Cost comparison
Changing agents costs $60 in state fees. Our registered agent service is $199 a year. Compare that with the cost of a missed notice: a late list alone adds $175 in penalties, and reinstatement after revocation starts at $300 plus every missed year.
After the change
Update your website footer, contracts and any licensing boards that keep your agent on file. Keep a copy of the filed statement of change with the company records.
