What Georgia requires of your registered agent (Georgia Secretary of State)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

A Georgia resident, a Georgia corporation or LLC, or a corporation or LLC from another state with authority to do business in Georgia. An entity cannot be its own agent. (O.C.G.A. § 14-11-209)

The address has to be a Georgia street address that is also the agent's business office, and the agent has to be located there. A P.O. box or mail drop cannot be used.

Official text: sos.ga.gov (we looked on October 2026, so you can too)

Filing it yourself

You lose nothing by acting as your own registered agent if you qualify. The services listed bill $99 to $149 a year for the in-state address.
