Kentucky handles registered agent changes with a single filing: the Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office, known as form RAC, filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State for a $10 fee. Below you'll find the exact form, the fee, the steps in order, and how we handle the transition for you.

Why Change Your Registered Agent?

Business owners switch registered 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 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 Kentucky or your agent relocates, you'll need a new agent with a physical Kentucky address.

Business Changes If your business structure or ownership has changed, you may want to update your registered agent to reflect your current situation.

Kentucky Form RAC: Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office

The official form name and number for a Kentucky agent change is the Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office, form RAC. It is filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State, and the state fee is $10. You can download the official RAC form as a PDF and mail it in, or file the change online through the Secretary of State's FastTrack system.

One requirement worth knowing: under KRS 14A.4-010, the incoming agent has to consent, either by signing the document that names them or by delivering a written acceptance to the state.
