FAQ
Where can I find all current Indiana Secretary of State business forms?
Current Indiana business-entity forms are posted on the Business Forms page, where filings are grouped by entity type and many entries also show an online filing link.
Indiana’s official online fee source is the Fee Calculator. The Business Forms page and INBiz together are the current official sources to check before filing.
Is the registered agent consent form required to be filed with the Indiana Secretary of State?
Indiana does not publish a separate registered agent consent form on the current business-forms page. Consent is embedded in the filed formation, registration, change, and merger documents through a checkbox statement signed as part of the filing.
No standalone consent form was verified as a separate document filed with or retained for the Secretary of State. If a person is named without consent, that person may use the Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent State Form 26285 to request removal from the record.
What form is used to change a registered agent in Indiana?
For a direct change on one Indiana business record, the form is the Statement of Change of Registered Agent State Form 56367, and the form states that there is no filing fee.
A registered foreign entity may instead use the Foreign Registration Amendment State Form 56365 when the Indiana registration record is being amended and the registered agent information changes as part of that amendment. The filing fee stated on that form is $30.00.
Filing may be made online through INBiz, by mail to Business Services Division, 302 W. Washington Street, Room E018, Indianapolis, IN 46204, or in person at Business Services Division, 302 W. Washington Street, Room E018, Indianapolis, IN 46204. 317-234-9768. INBiz@sos.in.gov.
What is the difference between the entity-filed change form and the agent-filed change form in Indiana?
The entity-filed form is the Statement of Change of Registered Agent State Form 56367. It changes the registered agent information for one identified business record.
The agent-filed forms are the Statement of Change of Registered Agent by a Commercial Registered Agent State Form 56368 and the Statement of Change of Registered Agent by a Noncommercial Registered Agent State Form 56373. They update the agent’s own information rather than serving as a one-record entity filing.
The commercial-agent filing is the more efficient form when the same commercial registered agent appears on multiple business records. Both agent-filed forms require prompt notice to the represented entity or entities.
Is there a fee to form a nonprofit corporation in Indiana?
Yes. The current Articles of Incorporation Domestic Nonprofit Corporation State Form 4162 states a filing fee of $50.00.
The current Articles of Incorporation Domestic Corporation State Form 4159 states a filing fee of $100.00, so the nonprofit formation fee is lower than the domestic for-profit corporate formation fee.
Indiana’s official Fee Calculator also states that a processing fee is added at checkout, with a minimum charge of $1 and a charge that will not exceed 2.15%.

Indiana’s current foreign registration form includes a registered agent section and embedded consent statement. If a master LLC designates a series in Indiana, the related filing is Articles of Designation State Form 56271, which states a filing fee of $30.00.
No quantified late-filing penalty for an unregistered foreign LLC was verified on the current official forms and filing pages reviewed for this article. No dollar penalty is stated here for that reason.
What forms are used to form or register a partnership in Indiana?
A domestic limited partnership uses the Certificate of Limited Partnership Domestic Limited Partnership State Form 51586, and the current form states a filing fee of $100.00.

A domestic limited liability partnership uses the Articles of Registration Domestic Limited Liability Partnership State Form 51572, and the current form states a filing fee of $100.00. That filing registers limited liability status for a partnership; it does not create a new general partnership by itself.
No separate Indiana Secretary of State form for an LLLP was verified on the current business-forms page. No official dual-filing requirement specific to a foreign LLLP was verified there either, so no separate LLLP filing path is stated here.
