Changing Your Registered Agent in Pennsylvania: the $5 Filing
For $99 a year, get a Pennsylvania agent with a registered address on file, same-day scanning of legal documents, and compliance reminders before state deadlines.
Pennsylvania makes agent changes cheap: $5, one form, done. The quirk is the form's name. PA law is written around a registered office instead of a registered agent, so the filing you want is the Statement of Change of Registered Office, and a commercial registered agent (a CROP, in state terminology) is what usually gets named on it.
The $5 Form: DSCB:15-1507/5507/8625/8825
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Form | Statement of Change of Registered Office |
| Number | DSCB:15-1507/5507/8625/8825 |
| Fee | $5 |
| Filed with | PA Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations |

Why the four-part number? It is one combined form covering four entity statutes: business corporations, nonprofits, limited partnerships, and LLCs. The current fee schedule is posted on the Department of State fees page.
Formed outside Pennsylvania? Foreign registrants keep a PA registered office too, but they update it through their foreign registration paperwork rather than this form.
Why Businesses Switch
Value. Paying triple our rate for identical coverage adds up fast, especially in a state where the report filing itself runs $7.
Privacy. Acting as your own agent parks your address in the public entity database. A CROP address replaces it.
Reliability. Slow document forwarding is how companies end up with default judgments they never saw coming.
New compliance load. The annual report that began in 2025 added a September 30 deadline somebody has to track.
Business changes. Relocation, restructuring, or the departure of the individual who was serving as agent.
