North Carolina Registered Agent.co Review (2026)

With North Carolina Registered Agent.co, North Carolina registered agent 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina, for $199 plus the state fee. The short version: it works well for a company that stays in North Carolina, wants one agent price and doesn't mind filing its own annual report.

What you get for $99 a year

Starting a North Carolina LLC with North Carolina Registered Agent.co

North Carolina Registered Agent.co will file your formation paperwork for $199, and you pay the state's filing fee separately. Your first year as registered agent 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.

How North Carolina Registered Agent.co compares with Mainstay Filing and our other picks

If you only want the agent, three years cost $297 with North Carolina Registered Agent.co 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 annual report; forming through North Carolina Registered Agent.co comes to $397 across three years, agent included, but report filing isn't part of it. NC Registered Agent.org, the other North Carolina agent we picked, charges the same $99 a year, so the two end up close.
