Does Puerto Rico require a registered agent?
Puerto Rico law requires every LLC to keep a resident agent with a physical address on the island, to receive service of process and official mail from the Departamento de Estado. If your company is not physically in Puerto Rico, a resident agent is how the government reaches you.

A Puerto Rico LLC does not file a full annual report. Instead it files an annual fee statement and pays a $150 fee, due on or before April 15 each year, or the next business day if that falls on a weekend or holiday. Failure to pay leads to penalties and eventual cancellation of the LLC, so we track the date and remind you before it.
