Georgia registered agent rules straight from Georgia Secretary of State (official)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a Georgia street address that is also the agent's business office, and the agent has to be located there. A P.O. box or mail drop cannot be used. The law behind it: O.C.G.A. § 14-11-209.

Georgia's annual registration: what it costs, when it is due, who gets the notice

Georgia LLCs send in the annual registration every year, due April 1. The state's fee is $60. Send it late and $25 gets added. Notices about it land with your registered agent.

Georgia registered agent: reader questions

Do you need a registered agent to run a Georgia LLC?

You do. Georgia wants a registered agent on file for every LLC, and the agent must have a street address in the state.

What should you expect to pay a Georgia registered agent?

Plan on $99 to $149 a year, and the price holds when it renews.

Could you serve as your own registered agent?

You can if the state's rules allow it. A Georgia resident, a Georgia corporation or LLC, or a corporation or LLC from another state with authority to do business in Georgia. An entity cannot be its own agent.

When does the Georgia annual registration have to go in?

Get it in by April 1. The state's cut is $60. Miss the date and it costs $25 more.
