Changing Your Registered Agent in Hawaii: Form X-7
Dependable registered agent service throughout Hawaii — $99 annually. That fee covers the office address, scanning of legal correspondence, and reminders for state filings.
One form handles the whole job. Hawaii entities change their registered agent by filing Form X-7, the Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Entity, with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) Business Registration Division. The state has no Secretary of State; BREG is the filing office. The form is captioned under HRS § 425R-7, a provision of Hawaii's Model Registered Agents Act (HRS chapter 425R).
Form X-7 at a Glance
Form: X-7, Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Entity
Fee: $25, plus the $1 State Archives fee BREG collects at payment. $26 total collected.
Filed with: DCCA Business Registration Division (BREG)
Statutory basis: HRS § 425R-7 (change of agent); HRS § 425R-4 (who qualifies)
Steps to Complete the Change
- Qualify the replacement. The incoming agent must be a Hawaii resident individual or an entity authorized in Hawaii, holding a street address in the state. No PO boxes, and your own entity cannot fill the role.
- Complete Form X-7. It names your entity, the agent being replaced, and the agent taking over.
- File with BREG and pay $25. The $1 Archives fee is added when BREG takes payment, bringing the total collected to $26.
- Verify the record. When processing finishes, the public registry should show the new agent. From that point, service of process routes to the new address.
Why Entities File an X-7
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereLower annual price: a provider charging several times our $99/year rate is a recurring expense with no added benefit.
Privacy: owners who once listed a home address want it out of the registry.
Lost eligibility: an agent who left Hawaii or dropped their street address no longer qualifies.
Service quality: documents that arrive late defeat the purpose of having an agent at all.
What Happens After the Switch
Once BREG records the change, delivery is exclusive to the new agent. The prior agent receives nothing further on your behalf, and no advance notice to them is required. The state record controls.
