Who counts as a valid agent?

Any individual, corporation or LLC with a physical address in Mississippi. Agents that serve for hire register with the Secretary of State as commercial agents.

You may be your own agent when you qualify, and the state adds no charge.

The picks run $99 to $149 annually; three years total $297 to $447.

Why does a state want an LLC to have one?

The agent signs for legal documents sent to the LLC in Mississippi.

The quality of an agent shows in its forwarding, so ask how documents reach you. More about service of process
