Maine keeps company formation refreshingly simple, and every LLC and corporation on its rolls needs a registered agent with a real Maine address. We are that agent for $99 a year, the same flat price we charge in every state, with same-day scans of anything the state or a court sends you.

What your $99 a year covers

Does Maine require a registered agent?

Maine law requires every LLC and corporation to keep a registered agent with a physical street address in the state, to receive service of process and official state mail. If your company is not physically in Maine, appointing an agent is how the state and the courts reach you.

A Maine LLC files an annual report each year, due June 1, with the filing window opening January 1. Miss it and the state assesses a late penalty, and continued failure leads to administrative dissolution, so we track the date and remind you before it.

  2. We put our agent on file with the Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations and set up your dashboard, usually the same day.
  3. Anything served on your company is scanned to you the same day, and we remind you before every deadline.

Frequently asked

Do I need a registered agent in Maine?

Yes. Maine law requires every LLC and corporation to keep a registered agent with a physical street address in the state, to receive service of process and official state mail. If your company is not physically in Maine, appointing an agent is how the state and the courts reach you.

Can I be my own registered agent in Maine?

You can if you have a physical Maine address and are available during business hours, but your name and address become public and you must be there to accept legal papers in person. Most owners use a service to stay private and never miss a notice.

How much does a Maine registered agent cost?

With us it is $99 a year, the same flat price in every state. That includes the agent on file, same-day scans of anything served on you, mail scanning, and compliance reminders.

When is the Maine LLC annual report due?

Every Maine LLC files an annual report between January 1 and June 1 each year. Miss the June 1 deadline and the state adds a late penalty, and continued non-filing leads to administrative dissolution. We track your date and remind you in time.

Can you take over as agent from my current provider?

Yes. We file the change of agent with the Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations and move your company onto our dashboard, usually the same day. There is nothing you need to print or mail.

Is the $99 price really flat?

Yes. It is $99 a year in Maine and in every other state, and it renews at the same number. The only cost that can change is the state's own fee, if the state changes it.
