Discover North Dakota Registered Agent: Your Legal Guardians

North Dakota Registered Agent

$10/month or $100/year  ·  per company, per state  ·  flat since 2007  ·  phone call the day you're served

North Dakota law requires every LLC, corporation, and LP to keep a registered agent — the entity's official address for service of process and state mail — with a physical North Dakota street address, for as long as the entity exists. Rapid Registered Agent is that agent for $10 a month or $100 a year, the same price in every state, with no packages, no setup fee, and no renewal surprises. We have done this since 2007.

Hire us as your North Dakota registered agent – $10/month

What North Dakota requires of your registered agent

  • A physical street address in North Dakota — not a PO box, not a mail-forwarding box.
  • Someone there during normal business hours to accept service of process in person.
  • A North Dakota resident, or an entity authorized to do business in North Dakota.
  • Prompt forwarding of everything received. North Dakota treats service on your agent as legal notice to you, whether or not the papers ever reach your desk.

The filing office for your registered agent and your entity is the North Dakota Secretary of State. If your company is ever left without an agent on record, North Dakota can strip its good standing — the status banks, lenders, and buyers check — until the default is cured.

North Dakota compliance your agent should keep you ahead of

  • Annual report. Every North Dakota LLC files the Annual Report with the Secretary of State by November 15. The fee is $50, and you confirm your agent and addresses at the same time.
  • Miss the deadline and North Dakota marks the entity delinquent and, after a notice-and-cure window, administratively dissolves it. Reinstatement means back filings, penalties, and a reinstatement fee.
  • Foreign entities: if you formed in North Dakota but operate elsewhere, you keep a North Dakota agent here and a registered agent in your home state too.

We keep track of what North Dakota needs from you and send reminders in time. We do not file anything for you or charge you to "manage" it — we just make sure nothing lapses because a deadline slipped past you.

What our North Dakota service includes

  • A phone call the day you are served. Not just a scan in your inbox — an actual call, because a lawsuit has a response clock.
  • Our North Dakota address on the public record, not yours. Service of process and state mail come to us.
  • Same-day handling. Documents are scanned and posted to your account the day they arrive, with email and optional text or fax alerts.
  • Unlimited contacts per company, and separate contacts per state if you register in more than one.
  • Your North Dakota filing forms and instructions — formation, change of agent, and any state filing — in your dashboard the moment you order.
  • The same price every year. $10 a month or $100 a year, per company, per state. No upsells, no fee to forward your documents.

North Dakota registered agent FAQ

Can I be my own registered agent in North Dakota?

Yes, if you have a physical North Dakota street address and are there during business hours. The trade-offs: your name and address go on the public record, and if your company is sued, the process server comes to that address u2014 sometimes in front of staff or customers.

Can I use a PO box as my North Dakota registered agent address?

No. North Dakota requires a physical street address staffed during business hours so that legal documents can be handed to a person. A PO box or virtual mailbox does not qualify.

When is the North Dakota annual report due?

By november 15, filed with the Secretary of State every year. The LLC fee is $50, and you confirm your registered agent on the same filing.

How do I change my North Dakota registered agent?

File a Statement of Change of Registered Agent with the Secretary of State naming the new agent. You can do this any time; you do not have to wait for a renewal date. When you order our service the form and instructions are in your account immediately.

I formed in North Dakota but work in another state. Do I need two agents?

Yes. You keep a North Dakota agent for the North Dakota entity, and you register as a foreign entity in the state where you actually operate and keep an agent there too. We cover all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico at the same $10 per month, per state.

What happens if my North Dakota company has no registered agent?

North Dakota can strip the entity’s good standing and move to administratively dissolve it. You lose the liability shield and the certificate of good standing that banks, lenders, and buyers ask for until you appoint an agent and clear any back filings.
