What people ask here

Will the state insist on a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Where the law says so: Ind. Code § 23-0.5-4-3. faqs.in.gov, current in October 2026 per the state

Can I pick anyone?

An individual, a general partnership, an Indiana filing entity, or a foreign entity registered in Indiana. A business cannot serve as its own agent.

Satisfy the rule and you can name yourself, with no agent fee.

What is the price of agent service?

About $99 to $149 per year, and $297 to $447 for three.

Naming a different agent does not change any state fee.

What does the agent handle day to day?

It serves as the LLC's Indiana mailing point for court papers and state letters.

Look for an agent who passes documents along promptly, so no deadline slips. More about service of process

What else is due annually?

Plan on the business entity report ($32, biennial). It falls due last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years; put the date in your calendar.

Why this order?

Paperwork covered, worth 29%, put Mainstay Filing first.

65% of the score comes from three-year price and paperwork covered.

Add a state later and the same agent and price come along; IN Registered Agent.org stops at the Indiana line.

Other questions

May I name myself as agent?

You can once you fit the rule. Owners often still hire a service to keep a home address off the record.

What is the address rule?

The address has to be a physical street address in Indiana. P.O. boxes are not accepted.

What is the three-year bill for each?

Totals: Mainstay Filing at $447, IN Registered Agent.org at $297, Indiana Registered Agent.co at $297

Where are these numbers from?

State side: Indiana's published fee schedules and forms. Service side: the prices each company lists.

Do I need outside help?

Hiring is optional. The law asks for a filing, not for a filer.

Who is your first choice in Indiana?

Mainstay Filing first: $149 a year, with the same price in all fifty states. IN Registered Agent.org and Indiana Registered Agent.co follow.
