What is a Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Missouri. A Missouri business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.
Why are registered agents required for Missouri businesses?
Having a registered agent is a requirement for Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Missouri registered agent
- Missouri does not require original signatures.
- Online filings are available and in some cases the filing fee is lower than the same document filed by mail.
- Missouri processing time is about 5-7 business days depending on the volume of filings. Online filings for domestic entities are processed immediately.
- The Missouri Registered Agent change filings are $10.
- The state of Missouri requires LLCs and corporations filed in Missouri to have a Registered Agent. Missouri Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the Missouri Secretary 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 Missouri, during normal business hours.
- Your Missouri Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents, any annual report notices, and litigation (service of process) documents. In Missouri, InCorp's address is for Registered Agent service only.
The law behind it
Missouri's registered-agent framework, quoted directly from the state code.
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 351.370 The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri (RSMo ch. 351) — Corporations
“1. Each corporation shall have and continuously maintain in this state: (1) A registered office which may be, but need not be, the same as its place of business; (2) A registered agent, which agent may be either an individual, resident in this state, whose business office is identical with such registered office, or a corporation authorized to transact business in this state having a business office identical with such registered office. 2. The address, including street and number, if any, of the initial registered office, and the name of the initial registered agent of each corporation organized under this chapter shall be stated in its articles of incorporation.”
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 347.030 Missouri Limited Liability Company Act (RSMo ch. 347) — LLCs
“1. Each limited liability company shall have and continuously maintain in this state: (1) A registered office which may be, but need not be, the same as a place of its business in this state; (2) A registered agent for service of any process, notice or demand required or permitted by law to be served upon the limited liability company, which agent may be either an individual, resident of this state, whose business office is identical with such registered office, or a domestic or foreign corporation authorized to do business in this state, and whose business office is identical with such registered office.”
