Switching Your Kentucky Registered Agent

Changing registered agents in Kentucky is a short process involving one form and a $10 state fee. Here is what you need to know, step by step.

When Switching Makes Sense

Business owners change agents for a few common reasons:

Your current agent uses your personal address, which sits in a public database anyone can search.
Your agent has been unreliable about forwarding documents or being available during business hours.
You are paying well above market rate for basic agent service.
Your previous agent relocated out of Kentucky or closed operations.
Your business situation changed and you need a more hands-off compliance solution.

The Four-Step Process

Step 1: Select a new agent who meets Kentucky requirements. The new agent must be a Kentucky resident individual (18+) or a business entity authorized in the state. A physical street address is mandatory. PO boxes are not accepted.

Step 2: Submit the change form to the Kentucky Secretary of State. The form updates your entity record with the new agent name and address. You can file online through the Secretary of State website or submit by mail.

Step 3: Pay the $10 state filing fee. This fee goes to the Secretary of State for processing the change. It is separate from any service fee your new agent charges.

Step 4: Verify the update in state records. After processing, confirm that your entity listing shows the correct agent. You can check this on the Secretary of State's business entity search tool.
