The Vermont requirements behind the service

Vermont's registered agent rules for LLCs live in 11 V.S.A. § 4007, the statute covering the designated office and the agent for service of process. Changes of agent are filed under a companion provision, 11 V.S.A. § 4008.

Who Can Serve as the Agent Under § 4007(b), the agent may be an individual resident of Vermont, a domestic corporation, another limited liability company, or a foreign corporation or foreign LLC authorized to do business in Vermont. An entity acting as agent must itself be registered and in active status with the state.

Address and Availability Requirements The statute requires the business to continuously maintain an agent with a street address in Vermont for service of process. In the Secretary of State's phrasing, "the agent has a street and mailing address located in Vermont." Post office boxes and virtual addresses do not satisfy this rule, and the agent should be present at the registered office during all regular business hours to receive documents. Interestingly, the separate "designated office" of an LLC may sit outside Vermont; it is the agent who must be in-state.

Pricing

Registered agent service in Vermont: $99/year. It renews automatically each year at $99 unless you turn off auto-renewal or cancel in your online account.

State fees are shown separately from our fee. We collect them with your order and pay them to the state at cost when we file.

Not part of the plan

• A virtual mailbox or mail forwarding. Everyday business mail is charged per piece to view, legal letters beyond the 3 a year are charged per piece, junk mail is discarded and packages are refused.
• Filing your annual report. That is a separate service with its own fee plus the state's fee.
• State filing fees of any kind.
• Forming the company, or any amendment or reinstatement filing.

About documents and your address: as your registered agent we take in service of process and official Vermont correspondence for you, and our address can go on your public filings so your own never appears. Keep in mind that we are not a package-forwarding operation. Same-day scanning of legal service is included, additional documents are $15 each to scan, and you only pay postage if a physical original needs to go out.

How it works

Once you complete enrollment, we provide your Vermont registered office address. If you're forming a new entity, you'll list us as your registered agent on formation documents filed with the Vermont Secretary of State. If you have an existing business, you'll file a change of registered agent with the state, which carries a $35 filing fee payable to the Vermont Secretary of State.

We begin monitoring your registered office immediately. When correspondence arrives, we scan and forward it the same day. You'll receive email notifications and can access documents through your online portal. Our compliance tracking system monitors your filing deadlines and sends reminders before annual reports and other obligations come due.

Your service renews annually at the same $99 rate. We send renewal reminders well before your service period ends, giving you time to continue your registered agent coverage without interruption.

Moving from another registered agent

Change of registered agent to us: $0 our fee + $35 Vermont filing fee = $35. The registered agent service itself is $99/year.

1. Confirm your new registered agent qualifies. Under 11 V.S.A. § 4007, the agent can be an individual Vermont resident, a domestic corporation, another LLC, or a foreign corporation or foreign LLC authorized to do business in Vermont. The agent needs a street address in the state; a post office box will not work.
2. Complete the Change of Registered Agent filing, formally a Statement of Change. Vermont does not use a numbered paper form for this. The filing is made online with the Secretary of State's Business Services Division, and the state explains the process on its registered office and agent filings page. The filing identifies your entity, the outgoing agent, and the incoming agent with the new registered office address.
3. Pay the $35 state fee. The fee is set under 11 V.S.A. § 4008 and goes to the Vermont Secretary of State. Older references list $25 for this filing; that amount is out of date.
4. Confirm the change in state records. Once the filing is processed, look up your entity in the Secretary of State's online database and verify the new agent appears correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Some filings may have different fee structures, so it's wise to verify current requirements with the Vermont Secretary of State.

How quickly do you forward documents?

Documents are scanned the same day they arrive at your registered office. You'll receive an email notification with the scan attached, and the document stays available in your online portal. Requesting the mailed original is an add-on billed per item.

Billing, cancellation and refunds

Registered agent service renews automatically for another year on each renewal date, unless you turn off auto-renewal or cancel in your online account, or give written notice at least 30 days before the renewal date. Renewal reminders go out about 60 days ahead.

You can cancel at any time from your online account or by contacting support. Cancelling does not by itself remove us as registered agent on the state record; a change of registered agent or resignation filing does that.

Anything already filed with the government is not refundable. Registered agent fees are not refundable once we or our partner have been appointed with the state. State fees are not refundable once paid to the state.
