How to Change Your Registered Agent in Indiana

Switching registered agents in Indiana is about as easy as state filings get. The paperwork is the Statement of Change of Registered Agent, State Form 56367, and the state charges nothing to file it. The official form even prints NO FILING FEE right on it, backed by Indiana Code 23-0.5-4-6. Submit it online through INBiz or on paper, and once the Secretary of State processes it, you're done.

Why Businesses Change Their Registered Agent

There are plenty of good reasons to update your registered agent:

Privacy Concerns: If you've been using your home address as your registered agent address, it's visible in Indiana's public business records. Switching to a professional service protects your privacy and reduces unwanted solicitations.

Reliability Issues: If your current agent has missed documents, been slow to forward correspondence, or proven difficult to reach, it's time for a change. Reliable service means showing up consistently and doing what you say you'll do.

A Lower Annual Price: If you're paying $125 to $436 annually for registered agent service, switching to our $99/year service reduces your ongoing business expenses.

Moving or Relocation: If you or your current agent moves outside Indiana, you'll need a new agent with a physical Indiana address to maintain compliance.

Professional Growth: As your business develops, using a professional registered agent service rather than serving as your own agent creates better separation between personal and business matters.

Better Service Features: Maybe your current agent doesn't offer SOP scanning for Indiana, online portal access, or compliance reminders. Switching to a service with these features improves your business operations.

The Form: Statement of Change of Registered Agent (State Form 56367)

Indiana's official form name and number for this filing is the Statement of Change of Registered Agent, State Form 56367. You can download the form straight from the state, or skip the paper entirely and make the change online through INBiz. Either way it's filed with the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division, and either way the fee is $0. The form cites Indiana Code 23-0.5-4-6, the statement-of-change section of the state's registered agent law.

Steps to Change Your Registered Agent in Indiana

1. Pick a new agent who qualifies. An individual agent must be an Indiana resident, at least 18 years old, with a physical street address in the state (no PO boxes) and availability during regular business hours. A company serving as agent must be authorized to do business in Indiana.
2. Fill out State Form 56367 or the INBiz online equivalent. You'll enter your entity's information plus the new agent's name and Indiana street address.
3. Submit the filing to the Secretary of State's Business Services Division. Online through INBiz is the quickest path; mailing the paper form works too. There's no state fee with either method.
4. Check your entity record. After the state processes the change, confirm your new registered agent appears on your public record before you call the switch complete.

Common Reasons to Switch to us

Privacy Protection: Our Indiana office address appears on your public filings instead of your personal address. Your home address stays out of public databases.

Dependable Service: We focus on registered agent service specifically, which means we're available during business hours to accept service of process and handle your documents properly, year after year.
