We register as your registered agent with the Idaho Secretary of State.
We receive and forward documents, send compliance reminders, and keep you in good standing.
A registered agent is the person or business designated to receive official legal documents, government correspondence, and service of process for your Idaho business. If you run an LLC, corporation, or limited partnership in Idaho, you generally need to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state.
At Idaho Registered Agent, we provide professional registered agent service for $99 per year—helping Idaho businesses meet state requirements while protecting personal privacy and ensuring reliable document handling.
Your registered agent serves as the official contact point between your business and the Idaho Secretary of State. When legal papers, compliance notices, or official mail need to reach your company, they go to your registered agent.
This includes service of process (lawsuits, subpoenas, legal summons), notices from state agencies, annual report reminders, and other official communications. The agent's job is to accept these documents during business hours and get them to you promptly.
Because registered agent information is part of your public business records at sos.idaho.gov, whoever you designate as your agent has their name and address visible to anyone. This public visibility is the main reason many business owners choose professional registered agent services—it keeps personal information private.
The Idaho Secretary of State sets specific requirements for who can serve as a registered agent:
For Individuals: The agent must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Idaho. They need a physical street address in Idaho—PO boxes and commercial personal mailboxes aren't allowed—and must be available during regular business hours.
For Business Entities: A company serving as registered agent must be registered with the Idaho Secretary of State.
Restrictions: Assumed business names cannot serve as registered agents in Idaho.
Commercial vs. Noncommercial: Idaho follows the Model Registered Agents Act and distinguishes between commercial registered agents (professional services that serve multiple clients) and noncommercial agents (individuals or entities serving their own businesses or affiliates).
Availability: Registered agents need to be accessible during business hours year-round. If your registered agent repeatedly misses service attempts or can't be located, your business could face compliance problems.
Self-Appointment: Idaho doesn't allow a business entity to serve as its own registered agent. However, you as an individual can serve as the registered agent for your own company.
Generally, every business entity formed in or doing business in Idaho needs a registered agent:
Sole proprietorships and general partnerships typically don't register with the state and therefore don't need a registered agent, though many business owners choose to form an LLC or corporation for liability protection.
While Idaho prohibits self-appointment (the business entity serving as its own agent), you as an individual business owner can serve as the registered agent for your company. Many new businesses go this route initially to save money.
But serving as your own agent comes with real tradeoffs:
Public Records: Your personal or business address becomes part of public records accessible to anyone. Expect marketing solicitations, junk mail, and loss of privacy. Anyone can search the Idaho business registry and see your address.
Availability Requirements: You need to maintain a physical presence at your registered address during business hours every weekday. If you travel, work irregular hours, or operate from multiple locations, this becomes difficult.
Service of Process: When someone serves your business with legal papers, they may show up at your home or office unannounced. It's uncomfortable at best, disruptive at worst.
Professionalism: As your business grows, using a professional registered agent creates separation between your personal life and business obligations.
Professional registered agent services like Idaho Registered Agent offer several advantages:
Privacy Protection: This is the big one. Our address appears on public filings instead of yours. Your personal information stays out of public databases. You get fewer junk mail, solicitations, and unwanted attention. For many clients, this alone justifies the $99 annual cost.
Reliability: We maintain business hours specifically to accept service of process and official documents. You don't need to worry about being available or missing important correspondence.
Compliance Support: Idaho requires annual reports with no filing fee, but you still need to file by the end of your anniversary month or Idaho will dissolve your business. We send reminders before deadlines to help you stay current.
Fast Document Handling: We scan and forward documents the same day we receive them. You also get secure online access to review everything through our document portal.
Flexibility: If you travel, work remotely, or operate from outside Idaho, a professional registered agent ensures you maintain compliance with state presence requirements without being tied to one location.
