How to change your registered agent in Indiana
-
Choose your new registered agent first.
Do not file the change form until you have a new agent lined up. The new agent has to consent to the appointment, and most states will not process the change without that consent in hand. If you let coverage lapse, the Indiana SOS can administratively dissolve your LLC.
Two ways to go. Name yourself or someone you know. Nothing to pay beyond the state filing fee above, but your address goes in the public record and somebody has to be there during business hours to accept legal mail.
Or use a service at $125/year. That keeps your address private and prepares the change form for you. If you are here because your current agent resigned, missed a delivery, or raised its price, this is usually the reason. See what Northwest charges, or compare what the major agents cost first.

Get the Statement of Change of Registered Agent (Form 56367). Download the form ↗
You can file this online through the Indiana Secretary of State portal. The form requires your LLC name, the new agent name and address, and a signature. The new agent must consent to the appointment.
-
There is no filing fee.
Indiana does not charge a state filing fee for this change. The only cost is what you pay your new registered agent.
-
Notify your old agent.
Once the change is processed, your old agent's responsibility ends. If you are paying them an annual fee, cancel that subscription so it does not auto-renew. Most agents do not refund the unused portion, so time the cancellation against your renewal date.
-
Verify the change in state records.
Search your LLC name on the Indiana SOS business search and confirm the new registered agent is listed. Check back after the processing window shown above.
Important to know about Indiana
- Indiana files reports biennially (every 2 years), not annually. You can change the agent during the biennial Business Entity Report at no extra cost.
- Use the dedicated Statement of Change form (free), not the Articles of Amendment (which costs $30 online or by mail).
- Three different "Statement of Change" forms exist on the INBiz site - make sure you grab the standard "Statement of Change of Registered Agent" (Form 56367) and not the "Noncommercial Registered Agent" or commercial agent variants.
Have a service handle the change for you
Northwest will prepare and file the Statement of Change of Registered Agent (Form 56367) for you when you sign up, and it pays the state filing fee. The change is usually filed the same business day.
