Do I need a registered agent for my LLC if I live outside the US?

Yes — a registered agent is required regardless of where the LLC owner lives. In fact, non-resident founders need it more than domestic owners: since you don't have a US street address of your own, HynoGo's registered agent service is what legally satisfies this requirement and gives your LLC a compliant in-state address.

Can I be my own registered agent for my LLC?

Only if you have a physical (non-P.O. Box) street address in the LLC's state of formation and can be present there during standard business hours to receive legal documents. For non-US residents, and for most US residents who don't want their home address on the public Secretary of State record, this isn't practical — which is why a commercial registered agent service like HynoGo is used instead.

What is a statutory agent for an LLC? Is it different from a registered agent?

No — 'statutory agent' is simply the term Ohio and a few other states use for the exact same role as a 'registered agent' (and some states say 'resident agent'). The legal function is identical everywhere: a physical in-state contact point for official mail and service of process. HynoGo's coverage satisfies this requirement under whichever name your state uses.

Which states do you support for registered agent service?

HynoGo supports all 50 US States, including Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, California, Nevada, New York, and all other states. The annual price is a flat $45/year regardless of which state your LLC is registered in.

How does HynoGo's $45 fee compare to other providers?

At $45/year, HynoGo is one of the most affordable licensed registered agent services in the United States. Northwest charges $125/year, Doola charges up to $297/year, and Bizee (Incfile) charges $119/year after the first year. You receive the exact same statutory protections and digital scanning while saving 60%–80%.

Is a registered agent legally required for my LLC?

Yes. Every US state legally requires an active registered agent with a physical street address in that state during business hours. Operating without one can cause your LLC to lose good standing and face administrative dissolution.

Can I switch my registered agent to HynoGo?

Yes! If you are currently paying $100–$300/year to another agent, you can easily switch to HynoGo for $45/year. We guide you through the simple state Change of Agent filing.

How quickly do I get my documents?

Any legal notice, service of process, or state tax mail received at your registered agent address is scanned and uploaded to your secure dashboard the same day, with immediate email alerts.

Does this protect my personal privacy?

Yes. Using HynoGo's registered agent address allows you to keep your personal home address off the public Secretary of State registry, protecting you from spam, junk mail, and unwanted public exposure.
