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

A Minnesota LLC must keep a registered office in Minnesota; naming an agent there is optional.

If one is named: a Minnesota resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Minnesota or authorized there, with a business office at the registered office. Section to read: Minn. Stat. § 5.36.

Every Minnesota LLC keeps a registered office at an actual office location in Minnesota; a P.O. box by itself is not accepted.
