We’ve dedicated ourselves to helping the North Dakota business community by offering high-quality, service-oriented business filing services and registered agent services.
When you hire a registered agent, you are appointing that person or company to accept legal notifications should your company ever become party to a lawsuit. Your registered agent will also sign for official mail from the Secretary of State, such as annual report reminders.
If your registered agent fails to get you your documents in a timely manner, it can seriously damage your business. Which is why you should carefully consider who you hire. There are lots of options. Unfortunately, many of our competitors lack critical resources, which keeps them from registering with the State. Our corporate competitors have plenty of resources, but many of our customers have come to us after discovering that the corporate conglomerates don’t usually care much for personal service. And they don’t know North Dakota business like we do.
When you hire Dakota W Registered Agent LLC, you’re hiring the best. We stand by our excellent customer service, and we stand by our industry-low price (only $49 per year, that’s it). We guarantee that you won’t be sorry if you sign with us.

What’s the Difference Between a Commercial and a Non-Commercial Registered Agent?
In North Dakota, there is a distinction between Commercial Registered Agents and Noncommercial Registered Agents. A Commercial Registered Agent has filed a Commercial Registered Agent Listing Statement with the Secretary of State and paid to be on the State’s official list. A Noncommercial Registered Agent has not registered with the State.
How Do I Change My Registered Agent to You?
Option One:
File a Registered Agent Amendment form (or Statement of Change) directly through the North Dakota FirstStop Portal. Simply locate your company through the state’s online Business Search page and select the correct filing type. The fee for this filing is $10.
Option Two:
File a full Articles of Amendment, or an Amended Certificate of Authority Application for a foreign-registered entity. This option is only recommended if you have other informaton to update, such as changing your business name or updating member/officer information, as the state fees are higher.
Just like for the previous option, you’ll need to locate your company using the Business Search page to access the filing. Fees vary for different entity types.
