Short Q&A
Am I allowed to be my own agent?
Yes, if you meet the state's rule on who may serve and its address rule, both shown above.
What kind of address is acceptable?
The address has to be a Florida street address that matches the agent's business address. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Florida law sets minimum hours of 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
Fees set by the state come from Florida's own publications; what services charge comes from their published prices.
Can I skip hiring one?
Not at all. Owners can file with the state directly; a service is there to save you the work and to act as agent.
Who ranks first in Florida?
Mainstay Filing first: a single account at $149 a year serves whichever state the LLC registers in. FL Registered Agent.org and Florida Registered Agent.io follow.
