California Registered Agent Service

Yes, California requires every LLC to designate an 'Agent for Service of Process.' This agent must be a California resident or a corporation authorized to conduct business in California.

California's agent for service of process must have a California street address (no PO Boxes), be available during business hours, and consent to the appointment. A registered corporate agent is often preferred for privacy and reliability.

California requires a Statement of Information every 2 years in the anniversary month of formation. Additionally, California LLCs must pay a minimum annual franchise tax. Our annual compliance, $299/year or included with Managed LLC ($149/month), covers all California filings and deadline tracking.

We provide same-day scanning and email notification for all documents received. When mail arrives at our office, we scan it and send you a secure email notification within hours, often within minutes. You can access all your documents anytime through your online dashboard.
