Michigan Registered Agent

Michigan registered agents are required when registering to do business in Michigan.

What is a Michigan Registered Agent?

A Michigan registered agent is a business that is listed on your corporate paperwork with the state as responsible for accepting legal notices on your behalf. Michigan registered agents must have a real physical location in Michigan and be present at that address during normal business hours. Although most of the time a sheriff or process server will be delivering the notice to the Michigan resident agents address, mailing a letter to the person or business listed as the Michigan registered agent at the Michigan registered office address is legal proof that you have been notified, regardless of whether or not you received the notice.

The Michigan registered agents duty is to be available at the business address listed as the MI registered office address during normal business hours. Any mail from the state that has been returned to them will be sent to the Michigan resident agents address.

What types of businesses are required to have Michigan Registered Agents?

A Michigan LLC, out of state LLC, a Michigan corporation, an out of state corporation, a non-profit corporation or organization, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or any other Michigan business entity is required to have a Michigan registered agent and Michigan registered office.
