Frequently Asked Questions

What is a registered agent in Louisiana?

A registered agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your LLC, corporation, or other business entity. Louisiana law generally expects every registered business to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state.

Why do I need a registered agent?

The Louisiana Secretary of State requires a registered agent so there's a reliable point of contact for legal notices, compliance reminders, and official documents. If your business is sued or the state needs to reach you, they send documents to your registered agent. Without one, your entity may fall out of good standing or be administratively dissolved.

Who can serve as a registered agent in Louisiana?

Individuals must be 18 or older and Louisiana residents. Business entities must be authorized in Louisiana and must file a statement listing at least two individuals authorized to receive service of process. Louisiana doesn't allow businesses to serve as their own registered agent.

What documents will I receive through my registered agent?

You'll receive service of process, state compliance notices, tax correspondence, annual report reminders, and official mail from the Louisiana Secretary of State. We scan each document the same day it arrives and upload it to your secure portal with an email notification.

Can I be my own registered agent?

No. Louisiana law doesn't allow businesses to serve as their own registered agent. You'll need to designate an individual who is 18 or older and a Louisiana resident, or use a business entity authorized in the state. Many business owners choose a professional service for privacy and speed.

How do I change my registered agent in Louisiana?

File a registered agent change form with the Louisiana Secretary of State and pay the $25 filing fee. Once the state processes your form, your new agent becomes the official point of contact. We provide the paperwork and instructions to make it straightforward.

What are Louisiana's annual report requirements?

Louisiana requires an annual report due on your anniversary date each year. The filing fee is $30 online or $35 by mail. Your initial report is filed with your Articles of Organization at no additional fee. After that, you file annually to keep your entity in good standing.

How much does the annual report cost?

The Louisiana Secretary of State charges $30 for online filing and $35 by mail. This is separate from our registered agent service fee. We send reminders before your anniversary date so you don't miss the filing window.

Who is the Louisiana Secretary of State?

The Louisiana Secretary of State oversees business entity registrations, elections, and public records. Their office manages LLC and corporation filings, registered agent records, and annual reports. You can find more information at sos.la.gov.

Why does your service cost $99 when others charge more?

We focus on speed and simplicity without inflating prices. Many services charge between $125 and $436 per year, or they offer low introductory rates and increase prices at renewal. We charge $99 annually with consistent pricing and no hidden fees.

What's included in the $99 annual fee?

Everything: a physical Louisiana registered office address, same-day document scanning and forwarding, compliance reminders, online portal access, and privacy protection. No setup fees or additional charges.

How quickly do you forward documents?

We scan and upload documents to your portal the same day they arrive. You'll receive an email notification with the scanned copy attached immediately. If you request physical forwarding, we send the original by mail.

How do I sign up?

Visit our enrollment page, provide your business details, and submit payment. We'll confirm your service within one business day and send you login credentials for your document portal. If you're changing agents, we'll guide you through filing the change form with the state.

Can I use your address for my business operations?

No. Our address is for registered agent service only. You can't use it as a mailing address, business location, or operational headquarters. It exists solely to receive legal documents and state correspondence on your behalf.

What happens if I miss my annual report deadline?

The state may impose late fees or administratively dissolve your entity. Louisiana sends notices before your anniversary date, but it's your responsibility to file on time. We send compliance reminders to help you stay on track.

What are Louisiana's requirements for business entity registered agents?

If a business entity serves as a registered agent in Louisiana, they must file a statement listing at least two individuals authorized to receive service of process. The agent must have a physical address—no PO boxes or virtual offices—and be physically present during normal business hours, typically 8am to 5pm.
