Registered Agent in Idaho: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One
Idaho requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical Idaho street address, under Idaho Code Title 30, Chapter 21, Part 4.

You may serve as your own agent if you have a physical Idaho address, but an assumed business name cannot serve. A PO box may be the mailing address but not the registered office.
Registered Agent in Iowa: What It Is, How It Works, and Why You Need One
Iowa Code 489.115 requires every LLC to designate and maintain a registered agent who must have a place of business in Iowa. The statute enumerates no eligibility categories and sets no street-address, PO box or business-hours rule. Designating an agent affirms that the agent has consented to serve. Being without an agent, or having an agent with no Iowa place of business, for 60 days or more is a ground for administrative dissolution under 489.708, with 60 days after notice to cure. The 2023 recodification moved the former 489.115 to 489.117.
