How to change your registered agent in Indiana

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. Pay the Free filing fee. Indiana does not charge a state filing fee for this change. The only cost is what you pay your new registered agent.

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.
