Registered Agent Change/Designation
MAINE CLERK / REGISTERED AGENT CHANGE WORKSHEET
Preparation worksheet—not the filing itself. Maine's Model Registered Agents Act distinguishes a clerk for a Title 13-C corporation from a registered agent for other represented entities. Select the correct role and current Secretary of State filing route.

CONSENT AND APPROVAL
The appointment is an affirmation by the represented entity that the clerk or registered agent has consented to serve. Section 108 does not require a separate agent signature on the statement of change.
Except for a corporation formed under Title 13-C, interest-holder or governor approval is not required by § 108. A Title 13-C corporation should document the corporation-specific approval required by its governing law.
ENTITY SIGNATURE
The statement of change must be signed on behalf of the represented entity and state:
- The entity's name.
- The information that will be in effect after filing.
Authorized signer: [Name]
Capacity: [Title or Authority]
Signature: ______________________________

The change takes effect on filing.

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.
