Swapping registered agents in Alabama is one form and one fee. You file a statement of change with the Secretary of State, the state updates your entity record, and your new agent takes over. Minutes of paperwork, then a short wait while the state processes it.

Reasons People Switch

  • The current provider's renewal keeps climbing (plenty charge $200+ a year for the basics)
  • Documents arrive slowly, or worse, not at all
  • A home address is sitting in the public record and privacy matters now
  • The old agent moved, closed, or went quiet
  • The business relocated and the old arrangement no longer fits the rules

Form, Fee and Where It Goes

  • The form: Change of Registered Agent or Registered Office by Entity, a statement of change under Ala. Code ยง 10A-1-5.32. Alabama does not number it.
  • The fee: $100, per the current Secretary of State fee schedule. A lot of sites still say $25. They are working from stale information; the schedule says $100.
  • Where it goes: the Alabama Secretary of State, Business Services Division.
