Changing your resident agent in Massachusetts involves filing a form with the Massachusetts Secretary of State. The fee is $0 online, $25 by mail or walk-in, and $30 by fax. We'll help you get it done.
Business owners switch resident agents for several reasons:
Privacy Concerns If you've been using your personal address, it's sitting in public state records. Anyone can search the Massachusetts business database and find it. Switching to a professional service keeps your address private.
Reliability Issues Your agent needs to be available during normal business hours (9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday) to receive documents. If your current agent misses important notices or forwards documents late, you may face compliance problems or miss critical legal deadlines.
Cost Many services charge between $125 and $436 per year. Switching to a more affordable option can reduce ongoing expenses. Massachusetts already has high state fees—your resident agent service doesn't need to be expensive too.
Relocation If you move out of Massachusetts or your agent relocates, you'll need a new agent with a physical Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts resident, or a corporation (domestic, foreign, or nonprofit) authorized in the Commonwealth. The agent must have a physical street address—no PO boxes—and be available during normal business hours.
Complete the resident agent change form and submit it to the Massachusetts Secretary of State. The form updates your entity's records with the new agent's name and address.
Once the state processes your form, verify that your new agent appears in your entity's record. You can check this through the Massachusetts Secretary of State's online database.
The Massachusetts Secretary of State charges:
This is one of the few free or low-cost filings in Massachusetts. Online filing is free, making it the most cost-effective option.
Privacy Protection Our Boston address appears on your state filings instead of your home or office. This keeps your personal information out of public records and away from people searching state databases.
Affordable Pricing We charge $99 per year with no hidden fees. No setup charges, no per-document fees, no renewal price increases. Massachusetts has some of the highest business fees in the nation—we keep our service affordable.
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. Massachusetts's annual report is due on your anniversary date with a $500 filing fee by mail or $520 online.
Physical Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts Registered Agent, we provide the paperwork and instructions you need to file the change with the state. You'll submit the form to the Massachusetts Secretary of State (online filing is free), 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.
