What is a Louisiana Registered Agent?

The state of Louisiana requires LLCs and corporations filed in Louisiana to have a Registered Agent. Louisiana state law (RS 12:1-501) requires that business entities continuously maintain within the state a registered office and a registered agent. The purpose of the law is simple: the general public and government agencies need a reliable way to contact a business.

Louisiana Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office on behalf of the corporate entity. There are few restrictions regarding who can be listed as a Registered Agent, the most important being that the Registered Agent must be located and available at a physical street address, within the state of Louisiana, during normal business hours.

Your Louisiana Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents and litigation (service of process) documents.
