Louisiana Registered Agent: registered agent Service in Louisiana

Professional registered agent service for your Louisiana business entity. Reliable, affordable, and fully compliant — just $99/year.

Everything you need to maintain good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State.

What Is a Registered Agent in Louisiana?

A registered agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your LLC, corporation, or other business entity. Louisiana law generally expects every registered business to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state.

For $99 per year, Louisiana Registered Agent provides a reliable Louisiana address, same-day document scanning, and compliance support to keep your business in good standing.

What Does a Registered Agent Do?

Your registered agent serves as the official point of contact between your business and the Louisiana Secretary of State. They receive:

• Service of process if your business is sued
• Official notices from state agencies
• Tax correspondence and compliance reminders
• Annual report notifications
• Legal documents requiring a formal response

The agent accepts these documents during normal business hours and forwards them to you promptly. This ensures you don't miss important deadlines or legal notices.

Louisiana Registered Agent Requirements

The Louisiana Secretary of State requires that your registered agent have a physical street address in Louisiana—no PO boxes or virtual offices allowed. The agent must be physically present during normal business hours, typically 8am to 5pm.

The agent can be an individual who is 18 or older and a Louisiana resident, or a business entity authorized in Louisiana. If you use a business entity as your agent, they must file a statement listing at least two individuals authorized to receive service of process.

Unlike some states, Louisiana doesn't allow businesses to serve as their own registered agent. You'll need to designate an individual or a separate registered entity to fulfill this role.

Who Needs a Registered Agent in Louisiana?

Most business entities registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State need a registered agent, including:

• Limited liability companies (LLCs)
• Corporations (C-corps and S-corps)
• Nonprofits
• Foreign entities operating in Louisiana

If you formed your business through the state or registered to do business in Louisiana, you generally need to maintain a registered agent.

Can I Be My Own Registered Agent?

No. Louisiana law doesn't permit businesses to serve as their own registered agent. You'll need to designate an individual who is 18 or older and a Louisiana resident, or use a business entity authorized in the state.

Even if you appoint yourself as an individual, your home or office address will appear on public state records. Many business owners prefer a professional service to keep their personal address private and ensure fast document handling.
