Your papers, in one place
Your formation certificate, EIN letter and operating agreement or bylaws go into your documents. From there, a signed link can show a bank one document without giving anyone an account.
You don't need to start again. A transfer keeps your company, with its name, file number and formation date, and makes us its registered agent. Your papers come across, and your yearly dates go on a calendar.

You tell us about the company. We check the state's record, then file the change of agent the same business day.
You start by telling us about the company: its name, state, file number, its registered agent today, who you are leaving, and where this year's filing stands. On the same business day, we check the state's own record. If the company is behind on anything, like a lapsed agent or an unpaid yearly charge, we tell you what it takes to fix, and what it costs, before we change anything.
Then we file the state's own change of registered agent form, signed for the company by the person you name. Wyoming takes it on paper, by post, and records it up to 15 business days after it reaches the office; Delaware takes an upload and records it in two to three weeks. The state's fee is $5 in Wyoming and $50 in Delaware, passed on at cost. Nothing about the company changes while it's pending. It keeps the same name, the same EIN, the same formation date and the same contracts, and your current agent stays in place until the state has recorded ours.
| State | Fee to record it | How it is filed | Recorded in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | $5, at cost | On paper, by post | Up to 15 business days |
| Delaware | $50, at cost | Uploaded to the Division of Corporations | 2–3 weeks |
There is no fee of ours for the move, and no state formation fee.
Your papers in one place, and your yearly dates set from the day the company was formed.
Your formation documents, your EIN letter and your operating agreement come into your documents. Your yearly dates are set from the date the state stamped when the company was formed, not from the day you signed up with us, so the first reminder lands when the state actually expects the filing.
If your old provider gave the company its US address, the tracker tells you what to change and where: the IRS, on Form 8822-B, and your bank and payment providers. If your last provider only sold you a formation, the calendar may be new to you. A foreign-owned US company owes two things a year, and both go on it with the fee shown. From then on we're your registered agent, so the state's letters come to your documents instead of somewhere you can't see them.
Your formation certificate, EIN letter and operating agreement or bylaws go into your documents. From there, a signed link can show a bank one document without giving anyone an account.
The state's yearly charge and the IRS return go on one calendar, each with its fee shown before it's due. They're set from the date your company was actually formed: the first of its anniversary month in Wyoming, 1 June or 1 March in Delaware.

No. The company keeps its name, file number, formation date and EIN. The only things that change are its registered agent, which becomes us, and where its records are kept, which is with us from now on.
You pay for the plan you choose at its normal price, plus what the state charges to record the change of agent: $5 in Wyoming, $50 in Delaware, at cost. There is no fee of ours for the move, and no state formation fee, because the company is already filed. Scale carries the state's fee.
We file the day you order. Wyoming takes the form on paper, by post, and records it up to 15 business days after it reaches the office. Delaware takes an upload and records it in two to three weeks; on Scale we buy Delaware's own next-day service, so it is recorded the next business day. Nothing about the company changes while it is pending.
The company's legal name as the state has it, its file number, the date it was formed, the name of its registered agent today, and your EIN if you have one. After you pay, you upload the certificate, the EIN letter and the operating agreement or bylaws to your documents, and we file each in its place.
Tell us on the form. We check the state's record the same business day and tell you what it takes to put right before anything is filed: $149 for our work, plus the state's own charges at cost. Delaware will not record a change of agent for an LLC with unpaid annual tax, and Wyoming dissolves a company sixty days after a missed report, so this is the first thing we look at.
If your old provider gave the company its US address, the IRS needs your new one on Form 8822-B, and your bank and payment providers need it too. The tracker tells you when, and where. Your EIN itself does not change.
We act as registered agent in Wyoming and Delaware only. A company formed in another state can be moved to Wyoming, but that is a separate filing in both states, called a domestication. Email us the details and we will tell you what it involves.
The transfer form asks. On Build and Scale, we apply for one as part of the move, by the route that doesn't need a Social Security Number.
It takes a few minutes. You see the whole order, with the state's own fee to record the change, before anything is charged.
