Registered Agent Requirements in Utah
A transparent $99/year for registered agent representation in Utah. Address used on filings, same-day legal mail scanning, and compliance reminders are part of the rate.
Every Utah entity, LLC or corporation, must keep a registered agent with a physical address in the state. The governing law is Utah Code § 16-17-203 (who may serve) and § 16-17-202 (the address standard), both part of Utah's Model Registered Agents Act. Rules, options, and fine print below.
The Agent's Responsibilities
Take service of process. Lawsuits and subpoenas aimed at your entity land at the agent address.
Collect state mail. Renewal notices and status letters from the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code route through the agent.
Be there. Regular business hours, physical Utah address, someone present to sign. Missed service creates real legal exposure.
Hold the record steady. The agent line on your filing is what the public sees; it should not churn every time your situation does.
Who Qualifies Under § 16-17-203
Three lawful choices:
- A commercial registered agent listed with the state under § 16-17-204
- A noncommercial agent, meaning an individual or an entity that agrees to serve
- The holder of a named office or position inside the company, per § 16-17-203(1)(b)(ii)
The entity itself cannot be its own agent. Designating an officeholder is the closest Utah gets to self-service, and it still puts one person's availability and address on the line.
The Address Standard
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereThe state's change form puts it plainly: "Utah Street Address Required, PO Boxes can be listed after the Street Address". Under § 16-17-202 that means an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah, with an in-state mailing address added whenever it differs.
Commercial vs. Noncommercial
Utah tracks the two categories separately in its records. Commercial agents (us) file a listing statement and serve many entities professionally. Noncommercial agents are usually officers or employees doing it as a side duty. Same legal function, very different reliability profile.
October 1, 2026: The Statute Moves
Chapter 93 from Utah's 2026 General Session repeals Title 16, Chapter 17 and renumbers the LLC act (Title 48, Chapter 3a), effective October 1, 2026. The citations above hold until then. We follow the new section numbers so your filings stay clean.
Officer as Agent vs. Professional Service
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
