Note: Mississippi has fully migrated business filings to online-only. There is no separate paper form for changing the registered agent - the change is filed as an amendment through the Mississippi Secretary of State business portal. The fee is $10 per company. You will need to create an SOS portal account and log in to file. If you change other business information at the same time as the registered agent (such as the LLC name), the filing is treated as a Certificate of Amendment and costs $50 instead of $10.

How to change your registered agent in Mississippi
-
Choose your new registered agent first.
Do not file the change form until you have a new agent lined up. The new agent has to consent to the appointment, and most states will not process the change without that consent in hand. If you let coverage lapse, the Mississippi SOS can administratively dissolve your LLC.
-
Get the Registered Agent/Office Statement of Change (Form F0010). Download the form ↗
You can file this online through the Mississippi Secretary of State portal. The form requires your LLC name, the new agent name and address, and a signature. The new agent must consent to the appointment.
-
Pay the $10 filing fee.
Pay by credit card during the online filing. A small processing surcharge usually applies. Mail filings accept check or money order made out to the Mississippi Secretary of State.
-
Notify your old agent.
Once the change is processed, your old agent's responsibility ends. If you are paying them an annual fee, cancel that subscription so it does not auto-renew. Most services prorate or refund the unused portion.
-
Verify the change in state records.
Search your LLC name on the Mississippi SOS business search and confirm the new registered agent is listed. Processing typically takes Within 24 hours for online filings, so check back after that window.
