Find a registered agent in your state

Every US LLC must appoint a registered agent in its state of formation — a physical address that accepts legal and state documents during business hours. As a non-resident, you cannot be your own agent, so this is not optional.

Pricing and service quality vary by state. These guides cover what each state requires and which providers actually accept foreign owners.
