Does Michigan require a registered agent?
Michigan law requires every LLC and corporation to continuously maintain a resident agent, the state's term for a registered agent, at a registered office with a physical Michigan address, to receive service of process and official mail. A company cannot serve as its own resident agent, so appointing one is how the state reaches you.
