CA Registered Agent.org Review (2026)

With CA Registered Agent.org, California agent for service of process service is $99 a year, the same $99 at renewal. You get an in-state street address for your registered office, and legal papers served on the company are scanned to your account. Want to start a California LLC with it? That's $199 plus the state fee, and your first year of agent service is included. It also registers outside companies in California, for $199 plus the state fee. The short version: it works well for a company that stays in California, wants one agent price and doesn't mind filing its own Statement of Information.

What you get for $99 a year

For $99 a year, CA Registered Agent.org will be your California agent for service of process. You get a registered office address in the state, and anything served on the company is scanned and waiting in your online account. When you renew, it's still $99.

Starting a California LLC with CA Registered Agent.org

CA Registered Agent.org will file your formation paperwork for $199, and you pay the state's filing fee separately. Your first year as agent for service of process is included, and after that the agent is $99 a year. If you want them to apply for your EIN, that's $99 more, though the IRS gives EINs out free.

CA Registered Agent.org doesn't file the Statement of Information, so that one is yours. In California it comes every two years, by last day of the LLC's registration-anniversary month, biennially, and the state asks $20.

Bringing a company from another state into California with CA Registered Agent.org

Registration with California is $199 through CA Registered Agent.org, plus the state's $70. Your first year as agent for service of process comes with it. You'll need to provide certificate of good standing (existence or status) from the home state, no more than 180 days old.

How CA Registered Agent.org compares with Mainstay Filing and our other picks

If you only want the agent, three years cost $297 with CA Registered Agent.org and $447 with Mainstay Filing, a difference of $150. Mainstay Filing has one agent plan that works in every state and scans the first three government mailings a year free. Mainstay Filing's package is $199 a year and includes the Statement of Information; forming through CA Registered Agent.org comes to $397 across three years, agent included, but report filing isn't part of it. California Registered Agent.ai, the other California agent we picked, charges the same $99 a year, so the two end up close.
