Registered Agent in Alabama: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One
Alabama requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent at a street address in Alabama where process can be personally served, under Ala. Code 10A-1-5.31. The address may not be solely a mailbox service or answering service, and the statute bars an agent operating only through a virtual office or mail forwarding service. Eligible agents are Alabama-resident individuals and entities registered to transact business in the state. These rules were tightened by Act 2024-413 and Act 2026-495.
