What is a Florida registered agent?
Businesses that register as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, resident agent, or statutory agent. A Florida registered agent is the designated recipient of service of process (SOP) when a business entity faces legal action, and receives official legal documents from the state regarding the company's operation within Florida. A Florida business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.
Why are registered agents required for Florida businesses?
Having a registered agent is a requirement for Florida corporations and LLCs, and the same requirement generally extends to limited partnerships, LLPs, LLLPs, nonprofit corporations, professional entities, and other businesses formed or registered by filing with the state. The agent must be located and available at a physical street address within Florida during normal business hours — a mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can jeopardize your company's legal status in the state and lead to unnecessary expense.

Appointing InCorp as your Florida registered agent
- Florida accepts manual, facsimile, and conformed signatures on filings (Fla. Stat. § 607.01401(70)).
- Online filings are available for domestic formations and annual reports on which the Registered Agent can be changed.
- Florida's normal filing time for mailed documents is about 5-7 business days. Online filings take about 2-3 business days.
- The Florida registered agent change filing fee is $25 for LLCs and $35 for all other entity types.
- The state of Florida requires LLCs and corporations filed in Florida to have a Registered Agent. Florida Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the Florida Department of State's office on behalf of the corporate entity. There are few restrictions regarding who can be listed as a Registered Agent, the most important being that the Registered Agent must be located and available at a physical street address, within the state of Florida, during normal business hours.
- Your Florida Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents and litigation (service of process) documents. In Florida, InCorp's address is for Registered Agent service only.
