How to File

  1. 1

    Obtain Vermont Statement of Change of Registered Agent Form

    Download the Statement of Change of Registered Agent form from the Vermont Secretary of State website at https://sos.vermont.gov or request it by mail. This form is used to officially update your registered agent information.

  2. 2

    Complete the Required Information

    Fill out the form with your LLC's name, current registered agent details, and new registered agent information. The new agent must have a Vermont street address (P.O. boxes are not acceptable) and be available during business hours.

  3. 3

    Get New Registered Agent's Consent

    Ensure your new registered agent signs the consent section of the form. If using a professional service, they will typically handle this step. If appointing yourself or another individual, their signature is required to accept the appointment.

  4. 4

    Pay the Required Filing Fee

    Include the filing fee of $25 with your submission. The Vermont Secretary of State accepts checks, money orders, or credit card payments. Make checks payable to 'Vermont Secretary of State.'

    Submit the Form

    File the completed form and fee with the Vermont Secretary of State either online through their website at https://sos.vermont.gov, by mail to 128 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-1101, or in person at their office.

  6. 6

    Update Your Records

    Once approved, update your internal LLC records and notify banks, vendors, and other business contacts of the registered agent change. Keep a copy of the filed form for your records.
