Louisiana Registered Agent Requirements

Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 12 sets the requirements for registered agents. Failure to maintain a valid agent can result in administrative dissolution.

Physical Street Address

Must be a physical address in Louisiana — no P.O. Boxes. The address becomes public record with the Secretary of State.

Business Hours Availability

Agent must be available to receive documents during normal business hours, Monday–Friday. Absence creates compliance risk.

Consent to Appointment

The agent must consent to the appointment. They accept legal responsibility for timely document handling.

Maintained Continuously

You must have a registered agent at all times. Gaps in coverage can trigger administrative dissolution.

Using your home address as your registered agent?

Your registered agent address is a public record on the Louisiana SOS website — searchable by anyone. Many business owners switch to a professional agent to keep their home address private.

Louisiana Registered Agent — Frequently Asked Questions

Is a registered agent required in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana law (Title 12, Revised Statutes) requires every LLC and corporation formed or registered in Louisiana to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state. A P.O. Box is not acceptable. The agent must be available during normal business hours to receive service of process and official state mail.
What is the role of a registered agent in Louisiana?
A Louisiana registered agent is the official point of contact between your business and the state. They receive service of process (lawsuits, summonses), notices from the Secretary of State, annual report reminders, and other official legal documents on behalf of your business. They then forward these to you promptly.
Can I be my own registered agent in Louisiana?
Yes, you can act as your own registered agent if you have a physical Louisiana address and are available during business hours. However, this means your personal address becomes public record on the Louisiana Secretary of State website, and you must be available at that address during all business hours — even when you travel. Most business owners use a professional service for privacy and reliability.
How much does a registered agent cost in Louisiana?
Geaux File provides Louisiana registered agent service for $49/year. That includes a physical Louisiana street address, document receipt and forwarding, digital delivery to your secure portal, and compliance reminders for your annual report (due June 1 each year).
When is the Louisiana annual report due?
Louisiana LLCs and corporations must file an annual report with the Secretary of State by June 1 each year. The state filing fee is $35. Failure to file results in penalties and can lead to administrative dissolution of your business. As your registered agent, we receive the annual report notice and send you automated compliance reminders 60 and 30 days before the deadline.
How do I change my registered agent in Louisiana?
To change your registered agent in Louisiana, you file a Statement of Change of Registered Agent with the Louisiana Secretary of State. The filing fee is $25. The new agent must consent to the appointment. Geaux File handles this paperwork for you when you switch your existing business to our service.
Does Geaux File have a physical Louisiana address?
Yes. Geaux File maintains a physical street address in Mandeville, Louisiana (St. Tammany Parish). This address is listed on your Articles of Organization and with the Secretary of State as your registered agent address. It is staffed during business hours to receive legal documents.
How quickly will I receive documents forwarded by my registered agent?
Time-sensitive legal documents (service of process, lawsuit notices) are forwarded to you the same business day — digitally via your secure GeauxOS portal and by email notification. Annual report notices and routine state mail are forwarded within 1 business day. You receive a push notification and email the moment a document lands in your portal.
