The $20 Fee, and the $22 You May See
$20 is the statutory fee for an LLC's statement of change. Filings are paid by card in the portal, and card payment carries a processing charge. That is why some fee tables, ours included, show $22: the $20 statutory fee plus the portal's card charge.
Filing Steps
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order Here- Confirm the incoming agent qualifies: a New Mexico resident individual, or a domestic or authorized foreign corporation, LLC, or partnership with a New Mexico place of business identical to the registered office.
- Collect the entity name, the new agent's name, and the new registered office street address. Street addresses are required on the filing.
- Submit the statement of change through the SOS online system.
- Pay $20 plus the portal's card charge.
- Check the entity record after processing to confirm the agent line updated.
Reasons to Switch
- The current agent is slow moving documents, or unreachable
- Your home address is on the public record and you want it out
- You are paying a premium rate for a commodity function
- The individual serving as agent left New Mexico or is no longer available through the business day
- You want the one ongoing state obligation handled by a company built for it

Why the Agent Matters More in New Mexico
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereNo annual report exists to force a yearly touchpoint with the state. Your agent listing is the live thread connecting your entity to the SOS, and service of process finds you through it. If the agent arrangement quietly fails, nothing in the compliance calendar surfaces the problem. That is the argument for a professional here: in this state, the agent role carries the whole compliance load.
