Registered Agent Change/Designation
KENTUCKY REGISTERED AGENT / REGISTERED OFFICE CHANGE WORKSHEET
Preparation worksheet—not the filing itself. Use the Kentucky Secretary of State's current Form RAC or online filing route. Confirm that the entity is within the filing provisions cited by the current form; KRS § 14A.4-010 contains exclusions for certain partnerships and cooperatives.
ENTITY INFORMATION
Entity name exactly as on Secretary of State records: [Entity Name]
Entity type: [Corporation / Nonprofit / LLC / LLP / Other Eligible Entity]
CURRENT RECORD
| Item | Current information |
|---|---|
| Registered agent | [Current Agent] |
| Registered office | [Kentucky Street Address] |
NEW RECORD
| Item | New information |
|---|---|
| Registered agent | [New Agent] |
| Registered office | [Kentucky Street Address] |
The registered office must be a Kentucky street address or other specific physical location; a P.O. box alone is insufficient. The registered agent's business address must be identical to the registered office.
An individual agent must reside in Kentucky. An entity agent must be a Kentucky entity or a foreign entity qualified to transact business in Kentucky as KRS § 14A.4-010 permits.
NEW-AGENT CONSENT
If the registered agent changes, the new agent must give written consent.
New registered agent: [Name]
Agent or authorized representative signature: ______________________________
Representative title or capacity, if agent is an entity: [Title]
KRS § 14A.4-010 provides that an appointment is not effective until the agent signs the appointment document or delivers written acceptance to the Secretary of State.
COMMUNICATIONS CONTACT
The entity must give its registered agent current information for a natural person authorized to receive communications.
| Item | Information |
|---|---|
| Contact name | [Natural Person] |
| Business address | [Address] |
| Business telephone | [Phone] |

About This Template
Corporate documents govern how a company makes decisions, records them, and handles disputes between owners, directors, and officers. Proper corporate paperwork is what lets a business take advantage of limited liability, pass clean audits, and survive an acquisition or investor review. Skipping formalities like written resolutions and signed consents is one of the fastest ways for a business owner to lose personal asset protection.
