How you change your address on Sunbiz depends on which address is changing: (1) Mailing address and FEIN updates are $0 online on Sunbiz any time using your 12-character Document Number; (2) Principal office address and Registered Agent address can be updated for $0 extra on your Annual Report between January 1 and May 1 ($138.75 LLC / $150 corporation); or (3) Outside the annual report window, changing a Registered Agent or filing Articles of Amendment costs $25 for a Florida LLC (Fla.

- Find your document number: look up the 12-character Sunbiz document number on the Sunbiz record search.
- Identify the address: decide whether the Mailing, Principal Office or Registered Office address is changing.
- Pick the cheapest method: use the free online update, your annual report (Jan 1–May 1) or a mid-year amendment.
- Get agent acceptance: if the registered office changes, the registered agent must sign a written acceptance (F.S. § 605.0113).
- Update everyone else: file IRS Form 8822-B and update your county Business Tax Receipt.

Principal Address vs. Mailing Address vs. Registered Office on Sunbiz
Your principal address is where the business is run, your mailing address is where Sunbiz sends correspondence, and your registered office is the Florida street address where your registered agent accepts legal papers. The principal and mailing addresses can be anywhere; the registered office must be a physical Florida street address.
Only the registered office must be in Florida — and it can never be a P.O. box.
How Long Does It Take Sunbiz to Update an Address?
Online mailing-address and annual report updates usually post within 24–48 hours. Mailed or uploaded amendment PDFs typically take 5–10 business days to be processed and appear on your public record.
Common mistakes
- Putting a P.O. Box as your Principal or Registered Office Address: Use a physical street address; a registered office must be a Florida street address.
- Updating Sunbiz but forgetting IRS Form 8822-B: File Form 8822-B with the IRS so federal notices reach the new address.
- Paying for a separate amendment between Jan 1 and May 1 when your Annual Report is already due: Make the change on the annual report you already have to file.
