What is the process for changing the registered agent of a business?

To change the registered agent of a business in Hawaii, the entity must submit a completed Statement of Change of Registered Agent and/or Registered Office form to the Secretary of State. This form can be filed by mail, in person, or online. There is a fee associated with this change, and the new registered agent must consent to their appointment. Once the form is processed and approved, the new registered agent will be officially recognized for the business entity. Additionally, it is important to update any internal records, contracts, and notifications with the new registered agent's information to ensure proper communication and compliance moving forward.
