The rule in each state
From each state's official formation form, audited October 2026, and the statute, change-of-agent form and fee read on the states' own pages in November 2026 (46 statutes, 50 change forms and 49 fees confirmed so far; a cell that says "see state page" was not confirmed on an official page and is not guessed). Open a state for who may serve, what becomes public, how to change agents, and our agent service there.

Serve yourself or hire one
Serving as your own agent is free and allowed in every state for an individual with a street address there. The trade is that the address becomes public and someone has to be there in business hours. Owners outside the state, owners who move, and owners working from home usually hire an agent instead.
Our registered agent service, available in any state, names our partner as the agent on the state record. It comes ticked in the application with its yearly fee on the review screen; untick it there to name your own agent. The longer discussion is in Do you need a registered agent? An LLC that already exists can switch to our agent; we file the state's change-of-agent form.
Standard Filings is a filing service, not a law firm. This page is general information from each state's published filing rules and fee schedules, not legal or tax advice.
Registered agent FAQ
What does a registered agent do?+
Receives lawsuits and official state mail for the company at a street address in the formation state, during business hours, and passes them to the owner. It is the one person the state and the courts can always reach.
Which states require the agent to sign the formation filing?+
Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Washington and Wyoming. In those states, naming an agent who has not accepted gets the filing rejected. Everywhere else the agent's consent must exist but is not signed on the form.
Where is a registered agent optional?+
New York and West Virginia. Most owners there name one anyway so legal papers have a known destination.
What does a registered agent cost?+
Nothing if you serve yourself. Ours is a yearly service added in the application: nothing is charged at checkout and the yearly fee is charged when we appoint your agent, with mail forwarded the same business day and a renewal reminder 30 days ahead.
How do I change my registered agent?+
File your state's statement of change of registered agent (the form and fee are in the table above and on each state page), or, in the states that allow it, name the new agent on the annual report. The new agent must have a street address in the state, and the old one stays on the record until the state accepts the change.
