You can change a Utah registered agent by filing a statement of change with the Division, or by listing the new agent on your annual renewal, which the law treats as a statement of change (Utah Code § 16-1a-212(9)). Do not let the company go 60 days without an agent; that is a ground for administrative dissolution.
