Using an Albany Address for a New York LLC
Every New York LLC designates the Secretary of State as its agent for service of process and gives an address where the state forwards legal papers (New York Department of State). Your Albany mailbox and that agent serve two different roles:
| Role | Albany mailbox | Secretary of State (agent for service of process) |
|---|---|---|
| Receives everyday business mail and packages | Yes | No |
| Scans mail to your dashboard | Yes | No, it forwards legal papers by mail |
| Accepts service of process for your LLC | No | Yes |
| Required by New York law | No | Yes |
BusinessAnywhere offers registered agent service for $147 a year, so both sit in one account. Before you file, read how to start an LLC in New York and the full New York LLC cost breakdown.
