   Remove Registered Agent files the certificate only after the payment goes through.

1. 1

   Finding the right form: DOS-1359-f for a domestic LLC, DOS-1362-f for a foreign LLC

2. 2

   Printing it and filling it in: the LLC's exact name and the date its articles of organization were filed, the LLC's name again on the form's second page, and the filer's name and mailing address

3. 3

   Filling in the cover sheet that opens the form's PDF, with the email address the State returns documents to

4. 4

   Reading the LLC Law to choose the statements your LLC's record calls for: revoking the registered agent does not move the service of process address, which is a separate statement on the same certificate

5. 5

   Calling the Department of State to confirm the form is filled in right, and waiting for the answer

6. 6

   Having a member, manager or authorized person of the LLC sign it, with their name and capacity

7. 7

   Paying the State's $30 filing fee by check or with the Department of State's card authorization form

8. 8

   Sending it by email or mail; a mailed certificate goes with a self-addressed stamped envelope for the confirmation

For an owner filing it by hand, it comes to at least 10 hours of work, with everything right the first time; our operator timed it. Most of those hours go to steps a quick estimate leaves out: reading the LLC Law to choose the statements, checking with the agent company, calling the Department of State and waiting for its answer, and checking everything again before mailing. Remove Registered Agent files electronically through its operator's service company account with the Department of State: the certificate goes into the Department's system when it is submitted, dated that day, with nothing to print, mail or scan. Of the 12 Certificates of Change our operator emailed to the Department of State from June 15 to July 1, 2026, 11 were dated the day they were sent or the next business day; a mailed one is dated no earlier than the day the mail reaches the Department.

In our operator's experience, one small mistake on the form brings a correction letter and a resubmission.

The New York Department of State's updates page says "Please submit all filings and requests via email or mail." (read October 26, 2026). Form DOS-1359-f has no notary, oath or perjury line. DOS-1359-f's notes also say "You are not required to use this form."

The guide to filing form DOS-1359-f covers each statement on the form, the fee and where to send it.

Having it filed for you

As of October 30, 2026, our operator has filed 100 New York Certificates of Change since January 2026, all accepted by the State: the same filing a New York LLC uses to revoke its registered agent. On each certificate it files, Remove Registered Agent reads the LLC's exact name and the date its articles of organization were filed from the State's record, puts the name on both of the form's pages, fills in the filer block, prepares the statements the record calls for and, where the service of process address is an agent company's, replaces it with one the LLC chooses.

We apply LLC Law §211-A (opens in a new tab), §302 (opens in a new tab) and §301 (opens in a new tab) to your live record: which statements it calls for, and whether the address must be replaced.

Remove Registered Agent files each signed certificate electronically through the E-Submission upload of eCorp, the Department of State's online filing system, under its operator's service company account; filers without a service company account email or mail the Certificate of Change. Of the 100 Certificates of Change our operator filed from January 12 to October 29, 2026, the 29 uploaded through eCorp's E-Submission, the route every certificate an LLC signs takes, had a median of under 1 day from filing to the State's response, and the 23 sent by mail a median of 7.2 days from mailing. These are past records, not a promise.
