You change a Florida LLC address on Sunbiz.org. Update your principal or mailing address for free while filing your annual report, or for $25 through an amendment any other time. Changing the registered agent’s address is a separate $25 filing. Once the state has the new address, the IRS, your bank and the Florida Department of Revenue need it too.
Which address are you changing?
Florida keeps three addresses for your LLC:
| Address type | Purpose | Where used |
|---|---|---|
| Principal address | Physical location of business | Public record, official business location |
| Mailing address | Where mail is received | Correspondence from state |
| Registered agent address | Legal document service | Service of process, legal notices |
They don’t have to match.
How do you change your Florida LLC address with the state?
Through the annual report
If your annual report is coming up (it’s due May 1), just change the address when you file. Log in at Sunbiz.org, file the report, update the principal and mailing addresses, and pay the usual $138.75 report fee. The address change costs nothing extra.
Through a standalone amendment
If you can’t wait for the annual report:
- Go to Sunbiz.org.
- Click “File Annual Report or Other Change.”
- Enter your document number (it’s on your Articles of Organization and your Sunbiz record).
- Select “Change Address” or file an amendment.
- Update the addresses and pay the $25 filing fee, if it applies.
Processing takes 2-3 business days, and the new address shows on your Sunbiz record once it’s done.
Our take: if May 1 is a few weeks away, fold the change into the annual report and save the $25. If it’s months away, file the amendment now, because state notices go to the address on file.
How do you change the registered agent address?
That’s a different filing, and the fee is $25 either way.
Same agent, new address. File a Statement of Change of Registered Office: on Sunbiz.org, select “Registered Agent Change,” enter your document number, update the address and pay $25.
New agent. File a Statement of Change of Registered Agent. The new agent has to sign accepting the appointment. If you’re switching to IncCraft’s registered agent service, we handle this filing for you.
The registered agent address must be a physical Florida street address. No PO Boxes.
Can you use a virtual address or PO Box?
Partly. A virtual office address can work as your principal address, and a PO Box or commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) can be your mailing address. The principal address can’t be a PO Box, and the registered agent address has to be a physical Florida street address.
The main reason to bother is privacy. If you run the business from home and you’re moving, a virtual address keeps the new home address off the public record. (If you’re your own registered agent, the move means updating that address too.)
Who else needs the new address?
The state filing doesn’t update anyone else. Start with these:
| Account | How to update |
|---|---|
| IRS (EIN records) | File Form 8822-B |
| Florida DOR (sales tax) | Update online at floridarevenue.com |
| Business bank accounts | Contact bank directly |
| Insurance policies | Contact insurance provider |
| County business tax receipt | Contact county tax collector |
Form 8822-B takes 4-6 weeks for the IRS to process, so file it early. Banks usually update within a week.
After that, tell clients, vendors, your accountant and your employees, and update your website, Google Business Profile, online directories and domain registration (WHOIS). Printed materials and signage can come last.
If your operating agreement lists the LLC’s address, update that as well. Many don’t, and then no amendment is needed.
What does each change cost?
| Change type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Address change during annual report | $0 (included in $138.75 report fee) |
| Address change via amendment | $25 |
| Registered agent address change | $25 |
| Registered agent change (new agent) | $25 |
There’s no limit on how often you can change addresses, and opening a new office doesn’t mean touching your registered agent.
Frequently asked questions
Will my EIN change if I move?
No. Your EIN stays the same. Just update the IRS with Form 8822-B.
What happens if I don’t update my address?
Annual report reminders and other state notices go to the old address. Miss them and you can miss the deadline, which means the $400 late fee.
