A resident agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your LLC, corporation, or other business entity. Maryland law generally expects every registered business to maintain a resident agent with a physical street address in the state.
For $99 per year, Maryland Registered Agent provides a reliable Maryland address, same-day document forwarding, and compliance support to keep your business in good standing.
Your resident agent serves as the official point of contact between your business and the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. They receive:
The agent accepts these documents during regular business hours and forwards them to you promptly. This ensures you don't miss important deadlines or legal notices.
The State Department of Assessments and Taxation requires that your resident agent have a physical street address in Maryland—no PO boxes or virtual offices allowed. The agent must be available during regular business hours, 9am to 5pm.
An individual agent must be 18 or older and a Maryland resident. Business entities must be authorized in Maryland. Maryland does not allow an entity to serve as its own resident agent. You'll need to designate an individual or a separate registered entity to fulfill this role.
Most business entities registered with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation need a resident agent, including:
If you formed your business through the state or registered to do business in Maryland, you generally need to maintain a resident agent.
No. Maryland law does not permit entities to serve as their own resident agent. You'll need to designate an individual who is 18 or older and a Maryland resident, or use a business entity authorized in the state.
Even if you appoint yourself as an individual, your home or office address will appear on public state records. Many business owners prefer a professional service to keep their personal address private and ensure reliable document handling.
Privacy When you use our address, your home or business location stays out of public records. This reduces unsolicited mail and protects your personal information from being easily accessible in state databases.
Reliability We're available Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time. When a legal document or compliance notice arrives, we receive it, scan it, and upload it to your portal the same day. You'll get an email notification immediately.
Compliance Support Maryland requires an annual Personal Property Tax Return due April 15 each year. The filing fee is $300. This is filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT), not the Secretary of State. We track your filing deadlines and send reminders so you don't miss important dates.
Flexibility You can travel, move, or change office locations without updating your resident agent address with the state. As long as we're your agent, your state filings remain current.
Maryland Registered Agent provides everything you need to meet Maryland requirements:
No setup fees. No per-document charges. Just $99 annually.
