Layer by layer

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

The law underneath: Utah Code § 16-17-203. peek at le.utah.gov, confirmed October 2026

Who is allowed to be the agent?

A commercial registered agent listed with the state, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity), or the holder of a named position in the company.

A qualifying owner can be the agent for free.

Also worth asking

May an owner serve as agent?

Usually. Check who qualifies and which address counts, and if you fit, you can.

Which addresses does the state accept?

The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.

What do the picks cost over three years?

Opened up over three years: Mainstay Filing at $447, UT Registered Agent.org at $297, Utah Registered Agent.co at $297

Are the fees official?

The state-side figures were taken from Utah's own publications, and the service prices from the price page each company posts. Dates for both appear on this page.

Do I have to use a service?

No. Owners can file with the state directly. A service saves time and can act as agent, but nothing makes you hire one.

What is the best registered agent for Utah?

Mainstay Filing is on top: $149 a year moves with the company into a new state. Under it sit UT Registered Agent.org and Utah Registered Agent.co.
