What people ask here

Can the LLC go without a registered agent?

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

Governing law: N.H. RSA 304-C:36. gc.nh.gov, current in October 2026 per the state

Who may serve as the agent?

A New Hampshire resident, or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State, whose office is the registered office.

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

How much should I budget for an agent?

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

No state fee depends on which agent you pick.

What does the agent handle day to day?

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

The goal is that nothing important sits unnoticed while you are away. Service of process in a line

Are there yearly state charges?

Plan on the annual report ($100, annual). It falls due April 1; put the date in your calendar.

A few more

Can an owner be the agent?

In most cases, yes. Check who qualifies and which address counts, then you can do it yourself.

What address does an agent need?

The address has to be a physical street address in New Hampshire; filings that list an out-of-state address are not processed. P.O. boxes are not accepted.

After three years, what has each cost?

New Hampshire Registered Agent.co $297; Mainstay Filing $447; NH Registered Agent.org $297

What is behind the figures?

Official New Hampshire documents supply the state fees, and the companies' own price pages supply the service fees. Every figure carries a date.

Can I skip hiring one?

No. What you pay a service covers the labor and the agent role, not anything the state demands.

Who is your first choice in New Hampshire?

Pick New Hampshire Registered Agent.co first, with Mainstay Filing and NH Registered Agent.org behind it.
