What is a Registered Agent?

A registered agent (also called a statutory agent or agent for service of process) is a person or company designated to receive legal documents on behalf of your LLC.

Every US LLC is required by law to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address (not a P.O. Box) in the state where the LLC is formed.

Why Do You Need One?

As a non-US resident, you likely don't have a physical address in Wyoming, Delaware, or wherever you formed your LLC. A registered agent provides:

  • Legal compliance — Required by state law
  • Privacy — The registered agent's address appears on public records, not yours
  • Reliability — Someone available during business hours to receive important documents
  • Peace of mind — Never miss a legal notice or compliance deadline

What Documents Does a Registered Agent Receive?

  • Service of process — Lawsuit notifications
  • State correspondence — Annual report notices, compliance letters
  • Tax notices — From the state Department of Revenue
  • Official filings — Any correspondence from the Secretary of State

Available States

We provide registered agent services in:

  • Wyoming — Our most popular state
  • Delaware — For corporations and investor-backed companies
  • New Mexico — No annual report required
  • Florida — For those who need a Florida presence

Free First Year

When you form your LLC with us, your first year of registered agent service is included at no additional cost. After the first year, the service renews at $49/year.

What Happens If I Don't Have a Registered Agent?

Operating without a registered agent (or with an invalid registered agent) can result in:

  • Administrative dissolution — Your LLC may be involuntarily dissolved
  • Default judgments — If you're sued and don't receive notice, you could lose by default
  • Late fees — For missed compliance deadlines
  • Loss of good standing — Required for banking and contracts

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be my own registered agent?

In theory, yes — but only if you have a physical address in the state and are available during business hours. For non-US residents, using a professional registered agent service is the practical choice.

What if I move states?

If you move your LLC to a different state (domestication), you'll need a registered agent in the new state. We can help with this transition.

How do I change registered agents?

We can help you transfer registered agent service from another provider. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks and involves filing a change of agent form with the state.
