What is a Arkansas registered agent?
Businesses that register as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, resident agent, or statutory agent. A Arkansas registered agent is the designated recipient of service of process (SOP) when a business entity faces legal action, and receives official legal documents from the state regarding the company's operation within Arkansas. A Arkansas business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.
Why are registered agents required for Arkansas businesses?
Having a registered agent is a requirement for Arkansas corporations and LLCs, and the same requirement generally extends to limited partnerships, LLPs, LLLPs, nonprofit corporations, professional entities, and other businesses formed or registered by filing with the state. The agent must be located and available at a physical street address within Arkansas during normal business hours — a mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can jeopardize your company's legal status in the state and lead to unnecessary expense.

(b) The appointment of a registered agent pursuant to subsection (a)(1) or (2) is an affirmation by the represented entity that the agent has consented to serve as such.”
Ark. Code Ann. § 4-27-202(a)(3) Arkansas Business Corporation Act of 1987 — Corporations

Switching your Arkansas registered agent
Good news: Arkansas doesn't charge a state filing fee to change an existing entity's registered agent — and InCorp prepares and files the change for you when you switch. What that looks like:
| Entity Type | State Agent-Change Fee | What You Pay with InCorp |
|---|---|---|
| All entity types | No fee | $0 |
State fees are set by state law and are never discounted. Amounts shown are what the state collects with a change-of-agent filing - in some states that includes an online payment-processing fee or required extras such as certified copies or county recording.
There is no state fee to cover here — and InCorp prepares and files the agent change for you when you switch.
