Louisiana Law

What Is a Registered Agent in Louisiana?

A registered agent in Louisiana is the designated individual or entity authorized to receive service of process, official legal documents, and correspondence from the Louisiana Secretary of State on behalf of your business. Every LLC and corporation registered in the state must maintain a registered agent with a physical Louisiana address at all times.

Louisiana operates under a civil law tradition unique in the United States, which affects how legal documents and corporate governance function. Your agent ensures you receive all legal notices and official correspondence in a timely manner regardless of those distinctions.

Louisiana requires your registered agent to have a physical street address in the state — P.O. boxes are not permitted. Your agent must be available during regular business hours to accept documents.

Louisiana Revised Statutes Under La. R.S. § 12:1-501 (corporations) and La. R.S. § 12:1308 (LLCs), every domestic and foreign entity registered in Louisiana must continuously maintain a registered agent at a registered office in the state. The registered office must be a physical street address. Failure to maintain a registered agent can result in revocation of the entity's charter or authority to do business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent if you have a physical Louisiana street address and are available during regular business hours. Most business owners use a professional service to keep their personal address off public record and ensure consistent availability when legal documents arrive.
Louisiana requires all LLCs and corporations to file an annual report each year. The filing fee is $35 for LLCs and $30 for corporations. Annual reports are due on the anniversary of the entity's original formation date. URA tracks your specific deadline and sends reminders before it arrives.
Louisiana is the only US state based on a civil law tradition rather than common law, which affects contract interpretation, property rights, and certain corporate governance rules. For most day-to-day business compliance purposes — including maintaining a registered agent and filing annual reports — the process works similarly to other states. Consult a Louisiana attorney for any questions about how civil law may affect your specific business arrangements.
Failing to maintain a registered agent can result in the Secretary of State revoking your entity's charter or authority to do business in the state. This removes your liability protection and can have serious legal and financial consequences. Reinstatement requires fees and additional filings.
Yes. If your out-of-state company has employees, offices, or is doing business in Louisiana, you must register as a foreign entity with the Secretary of State and maintain a registered agent in the state. URA can serve as your agent here and in your home state simultaneously at the same flat annual rate.
Your service renews on the anniversary of your order date. We'll send a renewal reminder at least 30 days in advance. Failure to renew may result in URA resigning as your registered agent, which would require you to designate a new agent to maintain compliance with the state.
