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.

Registered Agent in Alaska: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One

Alaska requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent under AS 10.50.055. Only individual Alaska residents and domestic or foreign corporations qualify: the statutory list omits LLCs entirely, so an Alaska LLC cannot serve as its own registered agent or appoint another LLC. The agent’s business office must be identical with the registered office. Failing for 30 days to appoint and maintain an agent is a ground for involuntary dissolution under AS 10.50.408, a shorter fuse than the 60 days common elsewhere.

Registered Agent in Arizona: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One

Arizona calls it a statutory agent, not a registered agent, and filings go to the Arizona Corporation Commission rather than a Secretary of State. Under A.R.S. 29-3115 the agent may be an individual Arizona resident, a domestic corporation or LLC, or an authorised foreign corporation or LLC with a place of business or residence in the state. The appointment is ineffective until the agent delivers a signed acceptance. Being without a statutory agent for 60 consecutive days is a ground for administrative dissolution under 29-3708.

Registered Agent in Colorado: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One

Colorado requires a registered agent under C.R.S. 7-90-701. Since a 2024 change an individual agent must hold a current valid Colorado driver’s licence or ID card and the entity must supply that ID number, a requirement unique among the states. The address must be a physical Colorado street address customarily open during normal business hours; commercial and PO Box addresses cannot be used. An entity may serve as its own agent once in good standing, but only by naming another agent first and then filing a change.

Registered Agent in Connecticut: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One

Connecticut requires every LLC to appoint a registered agent under Conn. Gen. Stat. 34-243n, with a wide eligibility list covering natural persons resident in Connecticut and most domestic and registered foreign entity types. A natural-person agent must disclose both a business address and a residence address, which is a real privacy cost for an owner acting as their own agent. Designating an agent affirms that the agent has consented. If the company has no agent, service may be made by registered or certified mail to its principal office.
