Registered agents, 2026
Every LLC needs one on file with the state. You can be your own, or pay a service.
ZenBusiness and Bizee, read Oct 2, 2026. See source
A registered agent is the person or company named on your state filing to receive legal papers and official mail for the LLC during business hours. You can usually serve as your own agent if you have an address in the state and are there to receive papers; a service does it for a yearly fee and keeps your home address off the filing.
ZenBusiness puts the typical cost of a registered agent service at $100 to $300 a year1. Its own price is $99 plus state fees for the first year and $199 a year after1. Bizee charges $149 a year standalone and includes the first year free when it forms your LLC2.
How these links work: each button opens the partner's own site. We are not paid for these links today; we may earn a referral fee in the future.

We do not earn anything from your quotes or sign-ups today. Every partner link is a plain link to the partner's own site, without a referral code. We may join partners' referral programs in the future, and this notice will say so before that changes.
FormationFile is not a law firm, accountant, insurer or broker, and nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice. We do not file anything for you and do not refer you to lawyers.
Prices and state fees are what the named source published on the date we read it. The state's own filing office and the provider's own page are the final word on fees and terms.
