Kentucky’s $15 June 30 annual report lists the agent — that paper still is not the registered-agent job

A registered agent is the person or company who can be handed a lawsuit for the business. It is not a mailbox. A registered agent is also called a statutory agent, or an agent for service of process. Handing over those court papers is called service of process. Kentucky’s live filing act uses the words registered agent. The office that keeps the list is the Secretary of State. That is the official title. KRS 14A.4-010 says each entity shall continuously maintain a Kentucky registered office and a registered agent whose business address is identical with that office. The agent is an individual who lives in Kentucky, or an entity qualified to transact business here. Unless the agent signs the appointment paper, the appointment is not effective until the agent delivers a written acceptance to the Secretary of State. The entity must also give the agent the name, business address, and business telephone of a natural person who can take the agent’s calls. That person is the communications contact. If that contact is missing, the agent may resign. The first paper that names the office and the initial agent is the articles of organization. KRS 275.025 requires a registered office and an initial registered agent that satisfy KRS 14A.4-010. Every year the company also files an annual report. KRS 14A.6-010 says that paper is due between January 1 and June 30. The live Annual Reports page prices it at $15. The same page says you cannot change the principal office or the registered agent or office on the annual report postcard. Use a Statement of Change. That is form RAC for the agent and office, or form POC for the principal office. Putting a name on a $15 June 30 paper is still not the registered-agent job. This page is the Kentucky rule and the dated prices. It does not reprint vendor cards from another state.

A registered agent is not a virtual mailbox. We do not score mailbox suites, virtual offices, or Google Business Profile eligibility here. Kentucky wants a registered office and a registered agent at the same street. The live RAC form says a post office box is insufficient for that office. If you need scans of catalogs, that is a different product on a different site.

What Kentucky actually requires

In plain language. Kentucky wants a person or company who can be handed court papers at a Kentucky street. That person or company is the registered agent. The agent’s business street must be the same street as the registered office. Naming the agent is not enough if the agent never signed the paper and never sent a written acceptance to the Secretary of State. You also have to give the agent a real person to call. The $15 annual report lists the agent. The postcard cannot change that line. Check the live name on the Business Entity Search before you file.

KRS 14A.4-010 is how Kentucky names the agent today. Each entity and each foreign entity qualified to transact business in this Commonwealth shall continuously maintain in this Commonwealth a registered office that may be the same as any of its places of business, and a registered agent. The agent may be an individual who resides in this Commonwealth and whose business address is identical with the registered office, or an entity or foreign entity qualified to transact business in this Commonwealth whose business address is identical with the registered office. That is the live sentence. We print it. We do not invent a shorter one. Unless the registered agent signs the document making the appointment, the appointment of the registered agent or a successor registered agent on whom process may be given is not effective until the agent delivers a statement in writing to the Secretary of State accepting the appointment. Each entity shall provide to its registered agent, and update as needed, the name, business address, and business telephone number of a natural person authorized to receive communications from the registered agent. That person is the communications contact. The agent keeps that information in paper or electronic form. If the entity fails to provide a current communications contact, the registered agent may resign. KRS 14A.4-050 then says the agent’s duties are to forward any service of process, notice, or demand, and to keep that communications-contact file. Kentucky does not post Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 windows. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as KRS 14A.4-010.

The live forms library lists a Statement of Consent of Registered Agent, form CRA. That is the written-acceptance paper the statute talks about. ZenBusiness’s Kentucky page, last updated September 17, 2026, says the registered agent must sign the document making the appointment or otherwise deliver a statement in writing to the Secretary of State accepting the appointment. That sentence matches the statute we opened. LegalZoom’s Kentucky article, updated May 15, 2026, says the appointment is not effective until the agent delivers a written statement to the Secretary of State accepting the appointment. That article does not print the “unless the agent signs” path. Bizee’s Kentucky page says, unless the registered agent signs the formation document directly, Kentucky law requires your LLC to keep a written record of the agent’s consent. The live statute we opened asks for delivery to the Secretary of State, not only a file in a drawer. We print the statute, the CRA form name, and those three vendor sentences. We do not invent a fifth path that makes them agree.

The live RAC form and a Kentucky Business One Stop guide both say the business being registered cannot be its own registered agent. LegalZoom’s Kentucky article prints the same “cannot serve as its own agent” sentence. KRS 14A.4-010 still lets a qualified entity be the agent when that entity’s business address is identical with the registered office. We print the form, the One Stop guide, LegalZoom’s sentence, and the statute. We do not invent a fifth rule that makes them agree.

KRS 275.025 is what the articles of organization must say. They shall set forth a name that satisfies KRS 14A.3-010; the registered office and initial registered agent that satisfy KRS 14A.4-010; the mailing address of the initial principal office; and a statement that the company is managed by a manager or by its members. Leaving the office or the initial agent unlisted is a rejected filing. The live fee table prices Articles of Organization at $40.00. KRS 275.055 prices the same paper at $40.00. Those two $40 numbers match. Bizee’s Kentucky page names a $40 filing fee. Those three numbers match. That first paper is a first paper. It is not the registered-agent job.

The live RAC form is the street rule. The registered office of the business entity must be in Kentucky and maintain a street address or other specific location — Highway, Rural Route, Building, and the like. A post office box is insufficient for the registered office address. The registered agent’s address must be identical with the registered office. Northwest’s Kentucky page says Kentucky requires a physical street address and that P.O. boxes are not permitted. Bizee’s Kentucky page says a P.O. box does not satisfy Kentucky’s registered office requirement. ZenBusiness’s Kentucky page says the registered office must be a physical street address in Kentucky and not a P.O. box. LegalZoom’s Kentucky article says a P.O. box does not qualify. Those vendor sentences match the RAC line we opened. We print them. We do not invent a shorter one. A P.O. Box is not that street. The live FastTrack portal and the Kentucky Business One Stop portal are how most of those papers are sent.

KRS 14A.4-020 is how the company changes the line after organization. An entity may change its registered office or registered agent or both by delivering a statement of change that sets forth the current office and agent, the new office and agent if those lines change, the new agent’s written consent, and that after the change the street addresses of the registered office and the business office of the registered agent will be identical. The appointment of a new registered agent is effective upon filing of the statement of change. The live fee table prices Statement of Change of Registered Agent or Registered Office, or Both at $10.00. KRS 14A.2-060 prices the same paper at $10. The live RAC form prints $10.00. Those three $10 numbers match. The same table prices Statement of Change of Principal Office at $10.00. That is form POC. It is not form RAC. ZenBusiness’s Kentucky page prints $10 to submit the Statement of Change of Registered Agent and/or Registered Office Address. Those four $10 numbers match. LegalZoom’s Kentucky article says pay the applicable state fee and verify the current fee at sos.ky.gov. It does not print $10. Northwest’s Kentucky page names a Change of Principal Office Address, Registered Agent and/or Registered Office Address form and does not print a dollar. Bizee’s Kentucky page says file a statement of change and does not print a dollar. We print the live $10 table, the statute, the RAC form, ZenBusiness’s $10 sentence, and the vendor pages that skip the dollar. We do not invent a sixth number that makes them agree. Putting a new name on a $10 paper is still not the registered-agent job. The job is taking court papers at the identical Kentucky street.

KRS 14A.4-030 is how an agent steps down. A registered agent may resign by signing and delivering a statement of resignation to the Secretary of State. After filing, the Secretary of State mails one copy to the registered office, if not discontinued, and the other copy to the entity at its principal office. The agency ends on the earlier of a successor, or the thirty-first day after the resignation was filed. KRS 14A.2-060 prices an agent’s statement of resignation at no fee. ZenBusiness’s Kentucky page says there is no filing fee and that the agent remains on file for 31 days unless a replacement is appointed sooner. Those two no-fee, thirty-first-day sentences match. The live fee table’s LLC block does not reprint that resignation row. We print the statute, ZenBusiness’s sentence, and the missing LLC-table row. We do not invent a fourth clock that makes them agree.

KRS 14A.4-040 is how court papers are handed over. An entity’s registered agent shall be its agent for service of process, notice, or demand required or permitted by law. If the entity has no registered agent, or the agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, service may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the principal office. Service is perfected at the earliest of the date the entity receives the mail, the date on the signed return receipt, or five days after deposit in the United States mail if postage is paid and the address is correct. The live Business Filings page says service on the registered agent is deemed to be service on the entity, regardless of whether the registered agent actually forwards the notice. That is the office path. We print it. We do not invent a shorter one.

KRS 14A.6-010 is the yearly Secretary of State paper this page will not confuse with the agent job. Each entity shall deliver an annual report that sets forth the name of the entity; the address of its registered office and the name of its registered agent at that office in this Commonwealth; the address of its principal office; and, for a manager-managed limited liability company, the name and business address of each manager. The first annual report is due between January 1 and June 30 of the year following the calendar year in which the entity was organized. Later reports are due between January 1 and June 30 of each following calendar year. The live Annual Reports page says all entities conducting business in the Commonwealth are required to file annual reports by June 30 of each year, that reports can be filed any time between January 1 and June 30, and that the paper must be signed, dated, and accompanied by a $15 filing fee. On that paper you must confirm the principal and registered agent/office. KRS 14A.2-060 collects fifteen dollars with each annual report or amendment. The live fee table prints Annual Report $15.00 and Amended Annual Report $15.00. Those three $15 numbers match. A veteran-owned business organized after August 1, 2018, is exempt from that fee for the first four years. It is not exempt from the filing. Bizee’s Kentucky page says, “Annual report due: June 30 each year.” LegalZoom’s Kentucky article says Kentucky requires LLCs and corporations to file an annual report by June 30 each year. Neither of those vendor pages prints $15. We print the statute’s January 1 to June 30 window, the office’s $15 sentence, the fee table, and those vendor due dates. We do not invent a fifth deadline that makes them agree.

Whether that $15 paper can change the agent is written on the office page. The live Annual Reports page says you cannot make changes to principal and registered agent/office on the annual report postcard. Those changes must be made via a statement of change. It names Statement of Change of Principal Office (POC) and Statement of Change of Registered Agent and Office (RAC). The same page lets you confirm the agent on the report. Confirming a name is not changing a name. Putting a name on a $15 June 30 paper is still not the registered-agent job. The job is taking court papers at the identical Kentucky street.

KRS 14A.7-010 is the missing-report and missing-agent clock. The Secretary of State may start an administrative dissolution if the entity does not deliver its annual report by the due date; is without a registered office or registered agent in this state for sixty days or more; or does not notify the Secretary of State within sixty days that its registered office or registered agent has been changed, discontinued, or that its registered agent has resigned. KRS 14A.7-020 then gives the entity sixty days after notice to cure. The live Annual Reports page says domestic entities that fail to file by June 30 are administratively dissolved. Foreign entities that miss the report have their certificates of authority revoked. The live fee table prices a reinstatement penalty after administrative dissolution at $100.00. KRS 14A.2-060 prices that penalty at $100. The live Business Records FAQ says an entity with inactive status and bad standing either did not file an annual report for the year, or the registered agent has resigned and a new agent has not been appointed. Stay without an agent for 60 days, or miss the June 30 report, and that is the path we opened.

The public lookup sits at sos.ky.gov. Confirm the live line on the Kentucky Business Entity Search before you treat a marketing city as current. There is also a Registered Agent Search. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Frankfort contacts are not a vendor suite.

Paper filings go to Office of the Secretary of State, P.O. Box 718, Frankfort, KY 40602. The live Annual Reports page and the live Business Filings page also print 1025 Capital Center Drive, Suite 201, Frankfort, KY 40601. The Annual Reports page prints 700 Capital Ave. with that same P.O. Box. The Business Services phone on those pages is 502-564-3490. The fax is 502-564-5687. In-person services are available 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ZenBusiness’s Kentucky page prints 700 Capital Ave., P.O. Box 718, Frankfort, KY 40602, and office hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We print the live 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. line and ZenBusiness’s 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. line. We do not invent a third clock. Those hours are the Secretary of State’s hours. They are not a registered-office clock. Kentucky does not post Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 windows. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as KRS 14A.4-010.

A change of registered agent is a separate Secretary of State filing. The live Annual Reports page will not take that change on the $15 postcard. We cite the $10 RAC row on the live table, ZenBusiness’s $10 sentence, LegalZoom’s “verify the current fee” sentence, Northwest’s form name with no dollar, Bizee’s statement-of-change sentence with no dollar, and the $15 annual report. The yearly paper can list the agent. It is still not the registered-agent job.

Who publishes a Kentucky street

A city is not a registered office. We print only the streets the companies publish for registered-agent use. We do not invent the rest. Confirm the live name and street on the Kentucky Business Entity Search before you file. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Frankfort contacts are not vendor suites.

If you are your own registered agent, the street on the public record is often your home. If you hire a commercial registered agent, the agent line is that organization’s name. Northwest names Richmond on the product page and Richmond, KY 40475 Madison County on the office list, and no street on either. LegalZoom publishes no Kentucky city. Bizee publishes no Kentucky street. ZenBusiness publishes the Secretary of State’s 700 Capital Ave. suite. We label every published city vendor-claimed. Use the Business Entity Search.

In-state office, the $10 change, and the $15 June 30 paper

Kentucky wants a registered office and a registered agent whose business address is identical with that office. The articles of organization must name that office and the initial agent. A P.O. Box is not that street. Unless the agent signs the appointment, the appointment waits on a written acceptance delivered to the Secretary of State. The company must also give the agent a communications contact. The live RAC form and the One Stop guide say the business being registered cannot be its own agent. Change the agent on a $10 RAC paper. Change the principal office on a $10 POC paper. The $15 annual report postcard cannot make those changes. Resignation on the statute is no fee and ends on the thirty-first day, or sooner if a successor is named. Stay without an agent for 60 days, or miss the June 30 report, and the Secretary of State may start an administrative dissolution after notice. Kentucky does not post a Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 clock, and it does not run a Nevada-style ten-company commercial-agent register. Northwest claims Richmond, ZIP 40475, Madison County. LegalZoom names no Kentucky city. ZenBusiness publishes 700 Capital Ave. — a Secretary of State contact. Bizee names no Kentucky street. Process Score has not been to those offices. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as KRS 14A.4-010.

Service of process, not marketing mail

We grade scan-and-forward of service of process and official notices:

Home-address privacy

A commercial registered agent is how most Kentucky owners keep a home off the agent line. The Secretary of State still publishes whatever other addresses you put on a formation filing or an annual report. Privacy of the agent line is not privacy of every field. A Kentucky entity must keep an agent. It cannot leave that line blank. Confirm the live line on the Business Entity Search.

Not legal advice. Confirm on Kentucky SOS before you treat these grades as current. Check the live name and street on the Kentucky Business Entity Search.
