What you probably want to know

Could I skip naming a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Cited law: Utah Code § 16-17-203. check it at le.utah.gov, October 2026

Can anyone do it?

A commercial registered agent listed with the state, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity), or the holder of a named position in the company.

Qualify, and the job can be yours for free.

What does an agent cost?

$99 to $149 per year, $297 to $447 over three years.

Naming a different agent doesn't change any state fee.

What does the agent handle?

It takes legal documents for your LLC at its Utah address.

A good agent tells you promptly when something arrives, so no deadline slips by. Service of process in plain words

What does the state want from the LLC annually?

Mostly the Annual Report/Renewal, once a year, at $18. The state's due date: last day of the entity's anniversary month. Jot that down early.

check it at corporations.utah.gov, August 2026

How did you decide the order?

It's work taken off your hands (31% of the score), and Mainstay Filing does best there.

33% of the score is cost across three years, 31% is work taken off your hands, and three smaller checks split ties.

Add a state later and the same agent and price tag along; UT Registered Agent.org ends at the Utah border.

FAQ

Can I act as my own agent?

Usually yes. Check the two rules above, who qualifies and the address.

What address does the agent need?

The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.

What's each pick's bill across three years?

Mainstay Filing $447; UT Registered Agent.org $297; Utah Registered Agent.co $297

What do the numbers rest on?

The state fees come from Utah's own documents, and the service prices come from the companies' sites. We put dates on both.

Is a filing service a must?

Not required. What you'd pay a service is for convenience.

Who do you like best in Utah?

Mainstay Filing, because one account at $149 a year works in whichever state you register in. After that, UT Registered Agent.org and Utah Registered Agent.co.
