Changing Your South Carolina Registered Agent in 2026
Pay one annual fee — $99 — for registered agent representation in South Carolina. The address goes on your filings, legal mail gets scanned same-day, and we remind you before state deadlines.
One form, one $10 fee, done. The filing is called the Notice of Change of Designated Office, Agent or Address of Registered Agent, authorized by S.C. Code § 33-44-109, and it goes to the South Carolina Secretary of State.
The Form, the Fee, and Where It Goes
- Form name: Notice of Change of Designated Office, Agent or Address of Registered Agent. No form number; South Carolina does not number its Secretary of State forms.
- Statute: § 33-44-109 authorizes the change; § 33-44-1204(a)(9) sets the fee at ten dollars.
- Fee: $10. Special case: $2 when the registered agent itself files nothing but a street address update for the registered office.
- Filing options: Online through Business Entities Online, or on paper using the PDF from the portal's Downloadable Paper Forms section.
Reasons to Switch
- Your home address is on the Secretary of State website and you want it gone
- Your current agent forwards documents slowly or is hard to reach
- You are paying a premium for what should be a $99/year service
- Your previous agent moved, closed, or stopped being available during the workday
- You left South Carolina but kept the entity active

Order Here- Pick a qualified agent. § 33-44-108 allows an individual South Carolina resident, a domestic corporation, another LLC, or a foreign company authorized in the state. Street address required, no PO boxes.
- Fill out the Notice of Change. Entity name, current agent and designated office details, and the new agent's name and street address.

- Check the record. Pull up your entity on the state's business search and confirm the new agent is listed before you consider the job finished.
During the Transition
Documents can still land at the old agent's address until the state processes the form. If you were serving as your own agent, watch that address until your record shows us. After that, everything arrives here and gets scanned the same day.
