Why switch

Your registered agent should do more than hold an address

Stay in good standing

Missing a filing deadline can mean penalties, loss of good standing, or even administrative dissolution. We monitor deadlines so you don't have to.

Same-day filing

Other services can take days to process your agent change. We file with the California Secretary of State the same business day you sign.

Protect your privacy

Our Sacramento address goes on the public record — not your home or office. Service of process is received at our location, not yours.

Real-time alerts, not portal logins

Most agents upload documents to a portal you have to check. We push scans directly to your email, SMS, and Slack within 15 minutes.

How it works

Switch in three steps — we handle the rest

1

Tell us your business name

Enter the name of your California LLC or corporation. We identify the correct Secretary of State form and pre-fill it — you never touch paperwork.

2

E-sign — we file it same day

Sign digitally from anywhere. Our team submits the agent change with the California Secretary of State before end of business that day.

3

You're covered

Any service of process that arrives at our Sacramento office is scanned and sent to your email, SMS, and Slack within 15 minutes during business hours.

Get started now

Takes about 2 minutes. No credit card required to start.

Document delivery

Every document reaches you three ways

When service of process arrives at our Sacramento office, it’s scanned and pushed to your team within 15 minutes during business hours. You never need to log into a portal.
