Switching Registered Agents in Kentucky: Form RAC and the $10 Fee

Swapping registered agents in Kentucky means one document, the Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office, and one $10 payment to the Secretary of State. Four steps, start to finish.

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 RAC Form and the $10 Fee

Kentucky's official form name and number for this filing: Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office, form RAC. It goes to the Kentucky Secretary of State, online through the FastTrack system or on paper. The current PDF sits in the state's business forms library, and the $10 charge is confirmed on the official fee schedule.

One rule trips people up: the incoming agent must agree to the appointment, either by signing the filing or by handing the state a written acceptance.

Four Steps to a New Kentucky Registered Agent

1. Pick a replacement agent who qualifies under Kentucky law: an individual residing in the state with a business address matching the registered office, or a company authorized to operate in Kentucky. Physical street address only; PO boxes fail.
2. Fill out form RAC with the entity's exact legal name plus the new agent's name and office address, and secure the agent's consent.
3. Deliver the form to the Kentucky Secretary of State, through FastTrack or by mail, with the $10 fee.
4. Run your entity through the state's business search afterward and confirm the new agent shows on the record.
