Is a registered agent required?
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
The law underneath: Ind. Code § 23-0.5-4-3. peek at faqs.in.gov, confirmed October 2026
Who qualifies?
An individual, a general partnership, an Indiana filing entity, or a foreign entity registered in Indiana. A business cannot serve as its own agent.
If you qualify, you can serve yourself at no cost.
How much does an agent cost?
A year of agent service runs $99 to $149 with our picks, and three years run $297 to $447.
No state fee depends on the agent you name.
What does an agent handle for the LLC?
The agent is the party that signs for lawsuits and state mail addressed to the LLC, at a Indiana street address.
What matters is that nothing important sits unnoticed while you are away. What is service of process?
What does the LLC owe the state each year?
Underneath it all, one filing repeats: the business entity report, every second year, at $32 each time. The state phrases its deadline like this: last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years.
