What Is a Registered Agent in Michigan?

A registered agent (also called a resident agent in Michigan) is the individual or business designated to receive:

Service of process (lawsuits)
Legal notices
State correspondence
Compliance reminders

Every Michigan business entity is required to maintain a registered agent under state law.

Michigan Registered Agent Requirements

To serve as a registered agent in Michigan, the agent must:

Have a physical address in Michigan (no P.O. boxes)
Be available during normal business hours
Be authorized to receive legal documents on behalf of your business

Failure to maintain a proper registered agent can result in:

Missed lawsuits (default judgments)
Loss of good standing
Administrative dissolution of your business
