A registered agent is a person or corporation designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official government correspondence on behalf of your Missouri business. The registered agent maintains a physical Missouri address and stays available during normal business hours to accept these documents and forward them to you.
Missouri generally expects LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, and other registered entities to maintain a registered agent. This ensures the Missouri Secretary of State and courts have a reliable way to deliver legal papers, official notices, and compliance documents to your business. It's a core requirement for operating in Missouri.
Your registered agent can be an individual Missouri resident over 18, with a business office identical to the registered office. Or it can be a corporation authorized to operate in Missouri. Interestingly, Missouri statute (RSMo §351.370) doesn't explicitly authorize LLCs to serve as registered agents—only individuals and corporations are mentioned.
You may receive service of process for lawsuits, notices from the Missouri Secretary of State, tax documents, compliance notifications, and other official government correspondence. We scan and forward these documents to you the same day they arrive.
No, Missouri law doesn't allow a business entity to serve as its own registered agent. You'll need to designate either an individual who meets Missouri requirements or a professional registered agent service like ours.
File a change form with the Missouri Secretary of State and pay the filing fee—$10 by paper or $25 online. Once the state processes your change, your new registered agent becomes the official contact point for legal documents and government correspondence.
Nope! Missouri is one of only four states (with Arizona, New Mexico, and Ohio) that doesn't have annual report requirements for LLCs. No annual filing fees, no franchise tax for LLCs. This is one of Missouri's most business-friendly features and saves you money every year.
The Missouri Secretary of State handles business filings and maintains business entity records. You can find information, forms, and filing resources at their website: https://www.sos.mo.gov/

In Missouri, a registered agent must be available to receive legal documents during business hours. That is exactly what we provide. Service of process, lawsuits, subpoenas, Secretary of State correspondence, tax notices, and compliance reminders — these are the documents we handle.
General mail is not part of the service, though we make an exception for up to three items per year that arrive at your registered agent address unexpectedly.
We do not accept packages, Google Maps verification postcards, Amazon verification letters, or third-party verification mailings. Our address is a registered agent address, not a general mailbox.
If your Missouri business needs a full mailing address, we offer a virtual mail add-on as a separate service. Contact us to discuss.
If we move locations (unlikely, but possible), we handle updating the Missouri Secretary of State on your behalf at no additional charge to you. If you're moving and need to change to a different registered agent, you'd file the change form and pay the state's $10-$25 fee.
We focus exclusively on Missouri to maintain deep knowledge of state requirements and deliver the fast, focused service our clients expect. This specialization allows us to serve Missouri businesses exceptionally well.
After enrollment, you receive login credentials for your document portal. Access is available 24/7 to view scanned documents, check any compliance items, and manage your account. The portal works smoothly on desktop and mobile.
We're available Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm Central Time. During these hours, we can accept service of process and respond to your questions. Our document portal is accessible anytime, and we scan/forward documents the same day they arrive during business hours.
Missouri allows PO boxes only in conjunction with a physical address—you can't use a PO box alone. Our service provides a physical Missouri address that meets all state requirements, so you don't need to worry about this technicality.
Fast. Sign up online, and you get immediate portal access. If you're forming a new business, list our info on your filing. If you're changing agents, submit the change form to the state. Either way, you're operational within minutes of signing up on our end.
The process server delivers legal papers to our Missouri address during business hours. We scan them and forward them to you immediately via email and your online portal. You'll know right away and can contact an attorney to respond within required timeframes. This is exactly why same-day processing matters.
Email us at support@moregisteredagent.org or call during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm CT). We respond quickly to questions about Missouri registered agent requirements and our service.
