A registered agent ensures you get legal notices, helps avoid penalties and is available during business hours so you don’t have to be. Look for an established company with positive reviews and experience with LLC services when finding an agent.
In Minnesota, to be your own registered agent:
- Reside there or be a corporation/LLC authorized to do business there
- Have a physical Minnesota address to accept service of process during business hours
However, this makes your personal address public. Most states, including Minnesota, require a physical street address, not a P.O. box.
A registered agent’s main roles are to receive legal documents like service of process for the business, which helps maintain legal separation between a business and owners’ personal assets.
Non-residents of Minnesota cannot be their own registered agents and must enlist a Minnesota resident. Consider the public disclosure and availability requirements before deciding to serve as your own registered agent. Using a professional service may suit your needs better.
