LegalZoom Wants $249. The Corporation Division Wants a New Hampshire Street Address.

Say the conflict out loud: New Hampshire Registered Agent.co is a $99-a-year competitor of LegalZoom, and this page exists to win your business. The $249 below was on LegalZoom's own pricing pages when we checked in July 2026, copied straight across.

What $249 Actually Buys

Trust, mostly, and that is not a joke at anyone's expense. If you have never hired a registered agent and cannot tell a legitimate provider from a website, picking the name you have heard of is a sensible way to handle a risk you have no tools to evaluate. LegalZoom has been around, at scale, for a long time. Nobody who hires it is gambling.

Fair enough. Now look at what the gamble was protecting you from, and what it costs per year to keep paying for that protection after you have stopped needing it.

The Price Never Blinks

$249 a year, automatically renewed, with no first-year break that we could find anywhere in July 2026. Give them this much: it is consistent. Year six bills at the same rate as month one, with nothing engineered to expire.

It is also the tallest flat annual number in this whole category.

Straight answer on the cheapest question: somebody advertises less than we do. BetterLegal's rate is $90. Ours belongs to the cluster of lowest published prices in this state, not the very bottom of it.

What the Corporation Division Actually Checks

Worth knowing where your money is going, because the state's requirements are short.

Business filings in New Hampshire go to one office: the Department of State's Corporation Division. When it looks at your registered agent, RSA 304-C:36 gives it a small list to check against. Is the agent a person who lives in New Hampshire, or one of the in-state entity types the statute names? Does that agent keep a business office at the very street address being listed as your registered office? Is the address a genuine physical location in this state?

That is the test. Not brand, not budget, not how many years the provider has been advertising. A $249 agent and a $99 agent pass or fail on the identical questions, and an out-of-state address fails both of them, which is why every national provider maintains a real office here.

The LegalZoom Handoff in New Hampshire, Filing by Filing

1. Hire the replacement. They need to clear the checks above before anything else happens.
2. Prepare Form 10. It handles a registered office change and an agent change, separately or in a single pass. You will need your entity name exactly as the state spells it, plus the incoming agent's name and New Hampshire street address.
3. File with the Corporation Division. The fee is $15. Pay online and it becomes $17, because New Hampshire adds a $2 handling charge to electronic payments, separately from the fee itself.
4. Wait for the record to update, then cancel. Your public listing will show the new agent when processing finishes.
5. Kill the auto-renewal. This one is specific to LegalZoom's billing model. Cancelling the service and stopping the recurring charge are two separate actions, so confirm both.

Never file the change before the new agent has agreed to serve. LegalZoom keeps the role until the Corporation Division updates your listing, and that overlap is your protection, not a delay. Our change of agent walkthrough has the rest.

Our Side of It

Deciding

The brand premium is $150 a year, forever, for a service New Hampshire defines identically for everyone providing it. Switching costs $15 at the state's counter. Do that arithmetic once and it does not need doing again.
