HOW-TO GUIDE
Florida Registered Agent Guide
Every Florida LLC must maintain a registered agent — a reliable in-state contact for official state and legal documents.
Role of the registered agent
The agent accepts service of process and certain state notices during business hours at a Florida street address. Using a professional agent helps avoid missed deadlines if you move or travel.
Can you be your own agent?
Florida allows you to serve as your own registered agent if you maintain a physical address in the state and are generally available during business hours. Many founders prefer a commercial agent for privacy and consistency.
Changing your agent later
If you switch agents, file the appropriate state update promptly so your LLC stays in good standing.
