What is a Registered Agent for an LLC in Florida?
A registered agent for an LLC in Florida — also called a resident agent — is a designated individual or business entity that officially receives legal and government documents on behalf of your LLC. Every Florida LLC is required to appoint one under Florida Statute 605.0113.
The registered agent (resident agent) acts as your LLC's official point of contact for service of process — meaning lawsuits, subpoenas, and legal notices — as well as correspondence from the Florida Department of State, tax authorities, and other government agencies. When someone needs to legally notify your LLC, they serve those documents to your registered agent.
What They Receive
- • Service of process (lawsuits)
- • Court summons and subpoenas
- • State tax and compliance notices
- • Annual report reminders
- • Government agency correspondence
Who Can Be One
- • You (the LLC owner)
- • Any Florida resident 18+
- • Another LLC member
- • A professional registered agent company
- • Must have a FL street address
Why It Matters
- • Missing legal notices = court defaults
- • No agent = risk of dissolution
- • Public record exposes home address
- • Required on all state filings
- • Cannot use a P.O. Box
Resident Agent vs. Registered Agent: In Florida, the terms "registered agent" and "resident agent" are used interchangeably and refer to the same role. Florida Statute 605.0113 uses "registered agent," while older documents and some business owners use "resident agent." Both mean the same thing: the official point of contact for your LLC's legal correspondence.
Florida LLC Registered Agent Requirements
Florida Statute 605.0113 sets out specific requirements that every Florida LLC registered agent must meet. Failing to satisfy these requirements — or operating without a registered agent at all — can result in administrative dissolution of your LLC by the Florida Department of State.
Physical Florida Street Address Required
The registered agent must have and maintain a physical street address in Florida — the "registered office." A P.O. Box, UPS Store box, or virtual P.O. Box number does not satisfy this requirement. The address must be a real street address where the agent can be physically found and served.
Must Be Available During Regular Business Hours
The registered agent must be available at their registered office address during regular business hours — typically 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. This ensures legal documents can always be accepted when delivered by courts, process servers, or government agencies.
Must Consent in Writing
Under Florida Statute 605.0113(3), the registered agent must sign a written consent accepting the appointment. This consent is filed with the Florida Division of Corporations as part of your LLC's Articles of Organization or a subsequent change of registered agent filing.
Must Be a Florida Resident or Authorized Business Entity
The registered agent must either be (a) an individual who is a Florida resident, or (b) a business entity that is authorized to do business in Florida. Out-of-state individuals cannot serve as a Florida LLC's registered agent unless they have a Florida address.
Address Must Be Listed on Public State Records
The registered agent's name and Florida street address are part of the public record on Sunbiz.org (Florida Division of Corporations database). This is why many LLC owners use a professional registered agent service — it keeps their personal home address off public records entirely.
Consequence of Non-Compliance
If a Florida LLC fails to maintain a registered agent, the Florida Department of State will send a notice to the last known registered agent address. If not corrected, the LLC faces administrative dissolution — meaning it loses its legal status and protections. Reinstatement requires filing, fees, and waiting periods. Maintaining a reliable registered agent is the simplest compliance task you can do for your LLC.
