Why You Need to Appoint a Registered Agent in Idaho

When a new Idaho business is formed, the company must designate a registered office within the Articles of Organization for an LLC or the Articles of Incorporation for a Corporation.

Appointing a registered agent is legally required under Part 4 of Chapter 21 Idaho Uniform Business Organizations Code in Title 30 Corporations.

Failure to appoint and maintain a proper resident agent could result in default judgments (in the case of a lawsuit), fines, and penalties. You might also risk having your business suspended or terminated in the state of Idaho.

Who Qualifies as a Registered Agent in Idaho?

To serve as a resident agent or office, you must meet the following requirements:

  • An owner can, as an individual, act as a registered agent if they have an Idaho physical address
  • A legal business entity that is filed with the Secretary of State with an Idaho physical address

Please note, if the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office is notified and verifies that the registered agent street address listed on a filing is a UPS Store, PMB, or PO Box, it may subject your business entity to being administratively dissolved or revoked.

Why a Commercial Registered Agent is Your Best Option

A commercial registered agent has filed a special listing statement with a state’s agency responsible for business registrations and compliance. Information that a commercial registered agent provides on the list includes its company name, entity type, and address to which service of process should be sent.

Commercial registered agents often maintain a physical address in multiple states and work with many business entities. Commercial agents like CorpNet also will notify businesses of upcoming state filings and legal notices and they can prepare and submit compliance filings on your behalf.

There are many advantages to working with a commercial registered agent. From convenience and privacy to easy online document access, a commercial registered agent offers peace of mind.

Verified Trustpilot Review of ★★★★★

For many years, and through several different companies, CorpNet has been there for me. I have used their LLC formation and dissolution services…and then their formation service again, and then once again. I have also taken advantage of their services for annual report filing as well as registered agent monitoring and notification. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if left to my own devices with these matters.

What really makes CorpNet stand out, in my opinion, is the level of service, the consistency of the experience, and the price. You speak to live humans whenever you want (during business hours, of course). And beyond that, these are live humans that actually get to know you. State fees aside, the fees for CorpNet services are so nominal. And you just can’t put a price on doing the best you can for your small business. You and your company provide endless examples of how to rock a small business on every level.

How much does a registered agent cost?

There is a wide range of pricing for registered agents. Some service providers offer super low rates, however, this comes with limited services, hidden costs, and they do not offer important things your business needs like compliance monitoring, online customer portals, live customer service, or a money-back guarantee.

While at face value, a low-priced registered agent may seem like a sweet deal, things can turn sour quickly. So rather than looking only at the price low-cost providers flash prominently on their websites, dig deeper into what you’ll be getting and what you’re not getting.

How do I change my existing registered agent?

Registered Agent changes must be made by filing a Statement of Change form.

If you hire a commercial registered agent, they can process the paperwork for you. Request CorpNet to change your registered agent for you.
