Changing Your Registered Agent in Arkansas

Replacing your registered agent in Arkansas takes one filing with the Secretary of State, and the state charges $0 for it. Below: the exact form, where it goes, and each step in order.

The Form: Notice of Change of Registered Agent Information

Arkansas's statement of change is authorized by Ark. Code Ann. § 4-20-108 and issued as a single combined form covering every entity type. Its catalog entry reads DO-3 (combined all-entity form 'DO-3/DN-04/FN-06/ALL', Rev. 1/25; the SoS LLC forms page lists it as DO-03 for LLCs). One PDF, several numbers, all entity types covered.

Fee: $0. The form is printed with NO FEE, and the LLC fee schedule confirms the statement of change is free. Some services and directories still cite $25 here; Arkansas does not charge for this filing, so never pay a state fee that does not exist.

Filed with: the Business and Commercial Services Division of the Arkansas Secretary of State. Download the combined change form, or start from the LLC forms and fees page. Online submission is available through the state's corporate filing system.

The Steps

1. Line up a qualifying replacement: street address in Arkansas, present during business hours, an adult resident individual or an authorized entity.
2. Collect the new agent's consent plus their precise name and address.
3. Fill in the Notice of Change of Registered Agent Information with your entity's name, filing number, old agent, and new agent.
4. Submit online or mail it to Business and Commercial Services. No payment attaches.
5. Run your entity through the state's business search to confirm the new agent shows on the record.

Common Reasons Businesses Switch

Renewal creep. Paying $200 to $400 a year for a commodity service is overpaying, especially when the change filing itself is free.

Slow forwarding. Every day a summons sits at your agent's office is a day subtracted from your answer deadline.

A vanished agent. If your agent stopped operating, your record is stale and your entity is exposed; file the change immediately.

Privacy. Self-listed owners have a home address in the public database. Changing to a professional agent stops the exposure going forward.

Relocation. An agent without an Arkansas street address no longer qualifies, full stop.
