Still wondering?
Can I be my own agent?
Often you can. If your address and status match what the state demands, nothing stands in the way.
What address does an agent need?
The address has to be a Florida street address that matches the agent's business address. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Florida law sets minimum hours of 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
What do the picks cost over three years?
Mainstay Filing comes to $447; FL Registered Agent.org comes to $297; Florida Registered Agent.io comes to $297
Where do these numbers come from?
Official Florida sources back the state side, and posted company prices back the service side.
Does the law require a service?
No. What the law asks for is a filing, and it does not say who has to send it.
What is the best registered agent for Florida?
Ask Mainstay Filing first, then compare FL Registered Agent.org and Florida Registered Agent.io.
