How to Change Your Registered Agent in Colorado

Swapping registered agents in Colorado is one of the cheaper filings you will ever make: a $10 Statement of Change, submitted through the Secretary of State's online system, and the record updates. This page walks through the filing, the fee, and the statutes behind them, then shows how we make the handoff painless.

Why Businesses Switch Agents

Slow forwarding. When a lawsuit lands, an agent who sits on the paperwork for days burns response time you may badly need.

Renewal creep. A teaser first year that renews at several times the advertised rate is a classic of this industry.

Public addresses. Owners who named themselves as agent eventually discover their home address sitting in the state's public database.

A vanished agent. Agents move away, close up shop, or stop answering, and the state still expects someone at that address during business hours.

Colorado's Change Filing: Form, Fee, and Where It Goes

The filing is officially titled the Statement of Change Changing the Registered Agent Information, a statement of change made under C.R.S. §§ 7-90-702 and 7-90-305.5. It carries no form number for a simple reason: Colorado has no paper version. The state accepts the filing online only, through the Secretary of State's business filing system, and the official state fee is $10 per the SOS fee schedule.

One useful wrinkle: under § 7-90-702, a registered agent update can also ride along with your annual Periodic Report. If your report window happens to be open, one sitting can handle both.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Colorado

1. Choose a new agent who qualifies under C.R.S. § 7-90-701. That means an individual 18 or older with a primary residence or usual place of business in Colorado (since July 1, 2025, individuals also verify residency with a Colorado driver's license or state ID number), or an entity in good standing with a usual place of business in the state.
2. Get the new agent's consent. Colorado requires the agent to agree to the appointment, and the filing affirms that consent.
3. Sign in to the Secretary of State's online filing system, retrieve your entity record, and complete the Statement of Change with the new agent's name and Colorado street address.
4. Pay the $10 state fee and submit the filing electronically.
5. Search your entity in the state's business database afterward to confirm the new agent appears on the public record.
