Changing your resident agent in Maryland involves filing a form with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation and paying the required fee. The process is straightforward, and we'll provide the necessary paperwork and instructions.
Business owners switch resident agents for several reasons:
Privacy Concerns If you've been using your personal address, it appears on public state records. Switching to a professional service keeps your address private and off easily searchable databases.
Reliability Issues Your agent needs to be available during regular business hours (9am to 5pm) to receive documents. If your current agent misses important notices or forwards documents late, you may face compliance problems or legal complications.
Cost Many services charge between $125 and $436 per year. Switching to a more affordable option can reduce ongoing expenses without sacrificing service quality.
Relocation If you move out of Maryland or your agent relocates, you'll need a new agent with a physical Maryland address.
Business Changes If your business structure or ownership has changed, you may want to update your resident agent to reflect your current situation.
Your new agent must be an individual who is 18 or older and a Maryland resident, or a business entity authorized in Maryland. The agent must have a physical street address—no PO boxes or virtual offices—and be available during regular business hours.
Complete the resident agent change form and submit it to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). The form updates your entity's records with the new agent's name and address.
The state charges $25 to file the agent change form. This fee is separate from any service fees your new agent charges.
Once the state processes your form, verify that your new agent appears in your entity's record. You can check this through the State Department of Assessments and Taxation's online database.
Transparent Pricing We charge $99 per year with no hidden fees. No setup charges, no per-document fees, no renewal price increases.
Same-Day Document Handling We scan and upload documents to your portal the day they arrive. You'll receive an email notification with the scanned copy attached immediately.
Compliance Support We track your annual report deadlines and send reminders before they're due. Maryland's annual Personal Property Tax Return is due April 15 with a $300 filing fee.
Privacy Protection Our Annapolis address appears on your state filings instead of your home or office. This keeps your personal information out of public records and reduces unsolicited mail.
Physical Maryland Address We provide a real street address that satisfies state requirements. Our office is staffed Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time.
When you sign up with Maryland Registered Agent, we provide the paperwork and instructions you need to file the change with the state. You'll submit the form and $25 fee to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, and once it's processed, we become your official resident agent.
We'll confirm your service within one business day and send you login credentials for your document portal. From that point forward, all legal documents and state correspondence come to our office, and we forward them to you the same day.
