New Hampshire registered agent service

New Hampshire requires every domestic and foreign LLC and corporation to maintain a registered agent with a business address in the state, and to file an annual report through NH QuickStart between January 1 and April 1 — whether or not the business earned a dollar that year.

From $129/year. We file the change and pay New Hampshire's $35 change fee.

What New Hampshire requires

A registered agent must have a physical street address in New Hampshire and be available there during normal business hours to accept service of process. The appointment is continuous — the obligation does not pause because the business is dormant or the owner has moved.

Separately, the entity must file an annual report with the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Corporation Division. It is due April 1 and currently costs $100 for a domestic entity.

New Hampshire's filing window opens January 1 and closes April 1. Miss it and a $50 late penalty attaches on top of the $100 report fee.

Changing your registered agent

You can change your registered agent at any time and you do not need the current agent's permission. It is done by filing Statement of Change of Registered Office or Agent with the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Corporation Division, which the state charges $35 to record.

Your entity is otherwise untouched: same charter number, same formation date, same standing. Only the address the state holds for notices changes. We prepare and file the change, and we pay that state fee ourselves.

Questions

New Hampshire registered agent FAQ

Do I need a registered agent in New Hampshire?

Yes. Every LLC and corporation formed in or registered to do business in New Hampshire must continuously maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state. A post office box does not satisfy the requirement.

What does a New Hampshire registered agent cost?

Commercial services in New Hampshire generally range from under a hundred dollars a year to several hundred. Ours starts at $129 a year per entity; the Compliance tier at $300 also includes preparing and filing your annual report, with the state's fee passed through at cost.

How do I change my registered agent in New Hampshire?

File a statement of change with the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Corporation Division — Statement of Change of Registered Office or Agent. The state fee is $35. We prepare and file it for you and pay that fee ourselves. You do not need your current agent's permission.

Can I use my home address as my registered agent?

If you live in New Hampshire and are there during business hours, generally yes. It becomes part of the public record, and it means a process server can serve you at home — which is the main reason owners move the appointment to a service.

When is the New Hampshire annual report due?

April 1. The fee is $100 for a domestic entity, and a $50 late penalty applies if you miss it. The state does not mail a reminder.
