Maine registered agent service
Every Maine LLC and corporation must continuously maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in Maine — a post office box will not satisfy the requirement. Maine corporations call the same role a clerk. The agent is the address where the state, the courts, and any process server will reach your company.
From $129/year. We file the change and pay Maine's $35 change fee.
What Maine requires
A registered agent must have a physical street address in Maine and be available there during normal business hours to accept service of process. The appointment is continuous — the obligation does not pause because the business is dormant or the owner has moved. Maine uses "clerk" for corporations and "registered agent" for LLCs; the role is the same.
Separately, the entity must file an annual report with the Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, UCC and Commissions. It is due June 1 and currently costs $85 for a domestic entity, or $150 for an entity formed in another state.
Changing your registered agent
You can change your registered agent at any time and you do not need the current agent's permission. It is done by filing MLLC-3 / CLKRA-3 with the Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, UCC and Commissions, which the state charges $35 to record.
Your entity is otherwise untouched: same charter number, same formation date, same standing. Only the address the state holds for notices changes. We prepare and file the change, and we pay that state fee ourselves.
