Why do I need a Montana registered agent?
Montana requires business entities such as LLCs and corporations to have a registered agent. This is true whether you formed your business in Montana or simply conduct business in Big Sky Country. Because your registered agent will accept service of process (legal notices) on your company’s behalf, the public needs a reliable way to contact your Montana LLC or corporation. In fact, your formation documents will be rejected if you don’t list one in your Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization.
Need help forming your Montana LLC or corporation? Not a problem! We can help you form a Montana LLC or incorporate in Montana. For $184 total, you’ll get our registered agent service plus we’ll form your business within 1-3 business days, state filing fees included. On top of that, you’ll maximize the protection of your personal information with a unique-to-you business address and many more options through your secure online account.
What happens if I don’t have a registered agent?
The Montana Secretary of State will administratively dissolve (close) your Montana LLC or corporation. Once your business has been revoked of its rights, you will no longer be able to legally conduct business within the state.
Keep in mind that refusing to appoint a registered agent for your Montana LLC will not prevent potential litigators from filing lawsuits or the government from contacting you.
What are the duties of a Montana registered agent?
The main duty of a Montana registered agent is to accept important legal and state correspondence on behalf of your Montana LLC. Typical documents might include correspondence from the Montana Secretary of State or service of process (notification of a pending lawsuit). In addition, they must be available during standard business hours (typically 9-5).
Who is considered a Montana registered agent?
A Montana registered agent can be an individual (18 years or older) or a company that offers registered agent service, such as All Day $49 Montana Registered Agent LLC. Your registered agent must also have a physical address in Montana—no PO Boxes—and be available during standard business hours.
Your Montana registered agent cannot be:
- The US Post Office or UPS. Private or postal mail boxes can’t be designated as your registered agent.
- A virtual mailbox. Although you can certainly utilize a virtual mail service, it can’t act as your registered agent.
Can I act as my own Montana registered agent?
You absolutely can act as your own Montana registered agent; however, we strongly encourage you to hire an outside company (such as $49 Montana). Your Montana registered agent’s name and contact information will appear on public records such as your formation papers and annual reports—which could put your personal information at risk. Hiring All Day $49 Montana Registered Agent is an excellent way to avoid this pitfall.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Service
How do I change my registered agent to All Day $49 Montana?
To change your Montana registered agent, you’ll need to file a Registered Agent/Office Change by Entity form. This must be filed online through the Montana Secretary of State website.
If you already have a registered agent and are considering making a change, we have a page that’ll walk you through exactly how to change registered agents.
Can I use your registered agent address as my mailing address?
No. Our registered agent address should only be used on your formation papers, annual reports, or other Secretary of State forms that might require a registered agent address. It should not be used for regular mail.
We do have several Virtual Mail options. For an additional fee, we can provide you a unique Montana business address and suite number you can use for everyday mail—list it on websites, business cards, bank statements, whatever you want. You won’t find a better deal.
Is the owner the same as the registered agent?
Allowing an individual or company to be your registered agent does NOT make them an owner of your Montana business. If you (the owner) choose to act as your Montana LLC’s registered agent, then the owner would be the same as the registered agent. However, if you designate your accountant, attorney, or us as your Montana registered agent, then the answer is no.
What Separates Your Registered Agent Service from The Rest?
There’s a lot of Montana registered agent companies that offer registered agent services. We understand you have choices. This is our full-time business and our only focus. Do you think hiring a company that does registered agent services part-time and lists a home address is a smart decision for your privacy, your contact details, the security of your documents, and most importantly, your service of process?
Do you want your private lawsuits coming somewhere where a residential family might have friends over while your company is getting served? We feel these are important decisions to ask when choosing a Montana registered agent service.
