Note: Utah charges $17 for the change form whether filed online or by paper (per the FY2026 fee schedule effective July 1, 2025). The Utah Division of Corporations strongly encourages online filing through the Update a Business portal, which requires a UtahID account. If you change the agent at the same time as filing your $18 annual report, the change is included free with the renewal - this is the cheapest path if your renewal is coming up. Make cheques payable to "State of Utah". Mail filings go to PO Box 146705, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6705.

How to change your registered agent in Utah
-
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 Utah Division of Corporations 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 Limited Liability Company Registration Information Change Form. Download the form ↗
You can file this online through the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code portal. The form requires your LLC name, the new agent name and address, and a signature. The new agent must consent to the appointment.
-
Pay the $17 filing fee.
Pay by credit card during the online filing. A small processing surcharge usually applies. Mail filings accept check or money order; confirm the exact payee on the form before you send it, because it is not the Secretary of State in every state.
-
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 Utah Division of Corporations business search and confirm the new registered agent is listed. Processing typically takes 48 hours maximum for online filings; 5-7 business days for mail, fax, or in-person; expedited processing available for an additional $75, so check back after that window.
Important to know about Utah
- If your annual report renewal is coming up, change the agent on the renewal form to avoid the separate $17 change fee. The $18 renewal includes the change at no extra cost.
- Online filing requires a UtahID account and the entity number. Set both up before starting the filing.
- Older sources cite $13 or $15 for the change fee. Neither is a change fee. The current agent-change fee is $17, and $13 is the base annual renewal before Utah adds its $5 portal surcharge, which is what makes the renewal $18.
Have a service handle the change for you
Northwest will prepare and file the Limited Liability Company Registration Information Change Form for you when you sign up. The state filing fee is yours to pay. The change is usually filed the same business day.
