Delaware registered agent Service — $99/year
Protect your business from compliance risks and missed legal deadlines.
Get Started — $99/yearFailing to maintain a registered agent can lead to your Delaware entity being administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State.
Without a reliable agent, you may miss critical legal documents, resulting in default judgments against your business.
Missing annual report deadlines can trigger fines and jeopardize your entity's good standing in Delaware.
An entity not in good standing may lose the personal liability protections that LLC or corporate status provides.
Delaware requires annual reports to be filed with the Secretary of State. Missing the deadline triggers late fees.
Your registered agent must be continuously maintained. Any lapse must be corrected promptly to avoid penalties.
State tax obligations must be met on schedule. Your registered agent may receive related notices on your behalf.
Changing registered agents in Delaware is straightforward. Whether you're looking for better service, simpler pricing, or privacy protection, you can update your registered agent information with the Delaware Secretary of State in a few steps.
Better Service If your current registered agent is slow to forward documents, difficult to reach, or lacks compliance support, you may be putting your business at risk. Reliable, responsive service matters when dealing with legal deadlines and state requirements.
Simpler Pricing Many registered agent services charge $125 to $436 per year, sometimes with additional fees for document scanning or forwarding. Straightforward pricing with no hidden charges makes budgeting easier.
Privacy Protection If you initially designated yourself or used your business address as your registered agent, your information appears on public business records. Switching to a professional service protects your privacy.
Relocation If your current registered agent no longer maintains a Delaware address or business office, you'll need to designate a new agent who meets the state's requirements.
Improved Compliance Support Delaware has specific deadlines, including the annual franchise tax due June 1. A registered agent that sends timely reminders helps you avoid penalties and interest charges.
1. Choose a new registered agent who meets Delaware requirements Your new agent must be a Delaware resident (if an individual) or a business entity with a business office in Delaware. The agent must have a physical street address in the state and be available during normal business hours. Delaware allows entities to self-appoint if they meet these requirements.
2. File the change form with the Delaware Secretary of State You'll submit the appropriate form through the Secretary of State's online portal or by mail. The form requires your business information, current registered agent details, and new registered agent information.
3. Pay the $50 filing fee Delaware charges a $50 filing fee to process registered agent changes. This fee is paid to the Secretary of State, not to your new registered agent.
4. Confirm the change in state records Once the Secretary of State processes your filing, you can verify the update by searching for your business entity in the state's online database. The new registered agent information will appear in your public business records.
Simple Pricing At $99 per year with no hidden fees, we provide professional registered agent service for less than most Delaware services while including all essential features.
Same-Day Document Handling We scan and email documents the same day they arrive, so you're immediately aware of legal notices, service of process, or compliance matters. Originals are forwarded to your preferred mailing address.
Compliance Alerts We send timely reminders about Delaware's annual franchise tax deadline (June 1) and other filing requirements, helping you avoid the $200 penalty and monthly interest charges for late payment.
Privacy Protection Our Dover address appears on your public business filings instead of your home or office, keeping your personal information out of public databases.
Professional Service We're available during business hours to accept documents and respond to your questions. Straightforward service without complicated features or unnecessary overhead.
When you sign up for Delaware Registered Agent, we'll provide the information you need to complete your change form with the Delaware Secretary of State. Once your filing is processed and the $50 state fee is paid, we'll immediately start receiving documents on your behalf.
You don't need to notify your old registered agent before filing the change—the state will update the records, and your former agent will no longer receive documents for your business.
