Registered Agent Compared

Sources and Method

Mainstay Filing is our best overall pick. Features and pricing models come from each provider’s own registered agent page, read October 20, 2026.

Providers

Per state: providers whose own site ranked for registered agent searches in that state or that Google’s AI overview named, plus Northwest, ZenBusiness, Bizee and LegalZoom everywhere. A provider that publishes no price is left out.

Features

We copy what the provider’s page lists. If a page lists nothing, the matrix says “Not itemized”; we never fill the gap.

State rules

Agent requirements, addresses and change fees come from statutes and Secretary of State forms, checked October 2026.
