Does Arkansas Even Track My LLC's Address?
Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report has a dedicated Principal Office Information section, distinct from your registered agent's address. A general amendment filing can also update it between reports.
Is This the Same As Changing My Registered Agent?
Arkansas's $22 Statement of Change of Registered Agent only updates your registered agent — it does not touch your LLC's principal office address, which instead runs through the Annual Franchise Tax Report or a general amendment filing.
- Your LLC's principal/mailing address is where your business is actually run from — it can change any time your business relocates, and it has nothing to do with who receives legal documents on the LLC's behalf.
- Your registered agent's address is the location where the state and any process server can reach your registered agent — it changes only when you switch registered agents or your agent moves.

How to Change Your LLC's Address in Arkansas

Follow the Update Timing Rule
Arkansas's own guidance points to the Annual Franchise Tax Report's Principal Office Information section as the main way this address gets updated, with a general amendment available if you need it corrected sooner. No explicit "file within X days" deadline was found.
Update Everything Else
Once the state's record (if any) reflects your new address, update your operating agreement, IRS records, bank accounts, licenses, contracts, and website. See the full checklist below.
Arkansas's Secretary of State materials describe a general "amendment" as a fallback for correcting your principal address between annual reports, but do not name a specific address-only form, form number, or fee distinct from the standard Articles of Amendment. Confirm the current form and fee directly with the Arkansas Secretary of State before filing rather than relying on a specific figure here.
What to Update After Changing Your LLC's Address
