Michigan LLC Registered Agent

In the state of Michigan, designating a resident agent (often referred to as a registered agent in other jurisdictions) is not merely a best practice—it is a strict statutory requirement. Under Michigan law, every domestic and foreign corporation, limited liability company (LLC), and nonprofit entity must continuously maintain a registered office and a resident agent within the state to accept service of process and official state correspondence.

MCL 450.4207 (Limited Liability Companies) "Each domestic limited liability company and foreign limited liability company authorized to transact business in this state shall have and continuously maintain in this state both of the following: (a) A registered office... (b) A resident agent."
MCL 450.1241 (Corporations) "Each domestic corporation and each foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this state shall have and continuously maintain in this state both of the following: (a) A registered office... (b) A resident agent."

Failure to comply with these statutes can result in severe penalties, including administrative dissolution of your entity, revocation of authority to transact business, and the inability to maintain lawsuits in Michigan courts.
