How to Change Your Registered Agent in Wyoming or Delaware (Step-by-Step)

1. Why Switch Your US Registered Agent Provider?

Every US Limited Liability Company is statutory required by state law (Wyoming Statute § 17-29-113 / 6 Del. C. § 18-104) to continuously maintain a Registered Agent residing in the state of formation to accept service of process and legal summons.

Foreign LLC owners frequently decide to switch Registered Agent providers to escape expensive annual renewal price hikes, gain access to digital mail scanning services, or consolidate entity management with a specialized non-resident corporate provider. State law grants business managers absolute freedom to transfer Registered Agents at any point without disrupting company operations.

4. Step-by-Step: Changing Registered Agent in Delaware ($50 Fee)

In Delaware, changing your LLC's Registered Agent requires submitting a formal statutory amendment to the Division of Corporations:

1. Execute Certificate of Change: Execute a Certificate of Change of Registered Agent pursuant to 6 Del. C. § 18-104.
2. State Fee Payment: Submit the Certificate to the Delaware Division of Corporations with the mandatory $50 state filing fee.
3. State Approval Receipt: Receive an official stamped filing evidence certificate from Dover, Delaware.

5. Canceling Service & Stopping Billing with Previous Providers

Once your state agent transfer is approved, send a formal cancellation notification email attached with your approved state filing certificate to your previous registered agent.

This official notification terminates your service contract and prevents former providers from sending recurring annual renewal invoices or issuing unauthorized resignation filings.
