Florida Registered Agent — What You Need to Know
Straightforward answers to the compliance and service questions we hear most. No legal jargon, no runaround.
Does Florida law require a registered agent?
Yes. Every Florida LLC and corporation must maintain a registered agent with a physical Florida address at all times. Failure to keep one active exposes the entity to administrative dissolution by the Secretary of State.
What happens when legal documents arrive at my registered address?
We accept the document, scan it securely, and forward it to you by email the same business day. Nothing sits unread. You receive a clear record of what arrived and when.
Is DG Registered Agent Services a law firm?
No. We are a professional registered agent service, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice. We handle compliance logistics — address of record, document receipt, mail scanning, and annual report reminders — completely and accountably.
Can I switch to DG from my current registered agent?
Yes, and it is straightforward. We guide you through the Florida change-of-agent filing with the Secretary of State. Your business standing is not interrupted, and the transition is handled without gaps in coverage.
Do I still need an attorney if I use DG?
That depends on your business needs. DG manages the registered agent function — document receipt, state correspondence, annual report deadlines. Legal strategy, contracts, and litigation require a licensed attorney; we do not replace that role.
What is the Florida annual report and when is it due?
Florida requires most LLCs and corporations to file an annual report with the Secretary of State between January 1 and May 1 each year. Missing the deadline triggers a $400 late fee and eventual dissolution risk. We send reminders — and can file on your behalf.
