Michigan Resident Agent Requirements

Michigan law establishes clear requirements for business entities operating in the state. If you operate an LLC, corporation, or nonprofit in Michigan, you are generally expected to maintain a resident agent at all times. This requirement ensures that the state and courts have a reliable method to deliver legal documents, regulatory notices, and official correspondence to your business.

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) oversees business entity compliance in Michigan. Your resident agent maintains a physical Michigan address where someone 18 or older is available to sign for documents during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. PO boxes and virtual offices do not satisfy Michigan requirements.

Your resident agent can be an individual who is a Michigan resident over 18, or a business entity authorized to operate in Michigan. Business owners may serve as their own resident agent if they meet the residency and availability requirements, though many choose professional services to maintain privacy and ensure consistent availability.

Michigan Business Compliance Framework

Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs administers business entity regulations. Understanding these requirements is essential for maintaining good standing:

Annual Statement — Michigan businesses typically file an Annual Statement by February 15 each year. The filing fee is $25. Missing this deadline results in a $50 late fee and potential administrative dissolution.

Resident Agent Changes — Changing your resident agent requires filing with LARA and paying a $5 fee. Updates take effect once the state processes your submission.

Address Requirements — Your resident agent maintains a physical street address in Michigan. This address must be staffed during business hours Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with someone 18 or older available to sign for documents.

Service Infrastructure

Michigan Registered Agent maintains dedicated facilities in Lansing with trained personnel who understand Michigan regulatory requirements. We operate within LARA guidelines and maintain the infrastructure necessary for reliable service delivery.

Our operational protocols ensure timely document handling, accurate record-keeping, and consistent availability during required business hours. This systematic approach protects your compliance status and provides the foundation for successful business operations in Michigan.
