How the order came together

ID Registered Agent.org comes to $297 over three years, which is $150 less than Mainstay Filing. If you only need an agent in Idaho, fifty-state reach doesn't help much, so the lower yearly price won.

What Idaho says about the registered agent (via Idaho Secretary of State)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a physical street address in Idaho. P.O. boxes and commercial mailboxes are not accepted. The law: Idaho Code § 30-21-404.

The Idaho annual report: when and how much

Here's the schedule: the annual report is due every year in Idaho, by last day of the entity's anniversary month. It costs nothing. Reminders from the state go to your registered agent.

Your questions about Idaho registered agents

Do I really need a registered agent for an Idaho LLC?

You do. Idaho won't accept an LLC without a registered agent who has a street address in the state, and that name goes on the public record.

What do Idaho registered agents usually cost per year?

Plan on $99 to $149 a year, and each service keeps its price when you renew.

Can I be my own registered agent?

Sometimes, if you meet the state's rules. An Idaho resident, or a business entity authorized to do business in Idaho. An assumed business name (DBA) cannot serve.

When do I have to send in the Idaho annual report?

Mark last day of the entity's anniversary month on your calendar. There is no state charge.
