Changing Your Registered Agent in Maine

Not happy with your current agent? Switching takes one form and a small state fee. Here is the process from start to finish.

Why People Switch

The most common reasons:

The current agent is slow forwarding documents or outright misses them
A personal address is being used and it is now publicly searchable
Prices went up at renewal and the service does not justify the cost
The agent moved away or stopped operating
You want same-day scanning and a proper online portal

How It Works

1. Pick your new agent. They need to be a Maine resident individual (18+) or a business entity authorized in Maine. Physical street address required. Maine Registered Agent.co meets all criteria.

2. File the change form. Submit to the Maine Secretary of State through their Corporations, Elections and Commissions division. The form updates your entity record with the new agent details.

3. Pay the state fee. Nonprofits pay $15. For-profit entities pay $35. This goes to the state, not to us.

4. Confirm the update. Check your entity record in the Secretary of State database to verify the change went through.

That is it. The whole thing typically processes within a few business days.
