Does New York require a registered agent?
New York names the Secretary of State as the statutory agent for service of process on every LLC, and the state forwards any process it accepts to the address you keep on file. Because of that, most companies also appoint a registered agent with a physical New York address to receive and scan that mail promptly.

New York LLCs do not file a traditional annual report. Instead they file a biennial statement every two years, during the calendar month the LLC was originally formed, for a $9 fee. Miss it and the LLC is marked past due, which can block a certificate of status, so we track the date and remind you before it.

- We put our agent on file with the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations and set up your dashboard, usually the same day.
