A Vermont LLC shall keep an agent. The LLC change is $35. A corporation’s statute says $50 and the fee table says $25

What Vermont actually requires

11 V.S.A. § 4007 is the LLC duty, and it is two sentences, not one. A limited liability company shall keep a designated office for notification. That office may but need not be a place of business, and it may but need not be in Vermont. The company shall also keep an agent for service of process pursuant to 11 V.S.A. § 1655. 11 V.S.A. § 4023 says the articles of organization state the name and street address of the initial agent. 11A V.S.A. § 5.01 is the corporation duty. A business corporation shall continuously maintain in this State a registered office and a registered agent pursuant to 11 V.S.A. § 1655 whose business office is identical with that registered office. The LLC office may sit outside Vermont. The corporation office may not. We print both. We do not collapse them into one street rule.

11 V.S.A. § 1655 is the shared agent statute. It applies to an LLC and to a business corporation. Subsection (a) asks for the name, email, and address of an individual resident of this State, or of a business organization that has a place of business in, and is authorized to conduct business in, this State. Subsection (b) says the person who designates the agent attests that the agent consents. That is not a Florida-style acceptance filed as its own record. The section does not print “no P.O. Box.” It does not print an age of 18. It does not print “the company may not be its own agent.” The registered-office page says the only qualification is a street and mailing address located in Vermont. It says the agent may be an individual person, or a business or nonprofit entity, not an assumed business name, other than the represented business itself, and that the entity must be registered and active. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 does not print that “other than the represented business itself” ban, and it does not print a mailing address in Vermont. 11 V.S.A. § 4023 does require a street address for the initial agent. We print the statute, the articles, and the office page. We do not invent a winner. Northwest’s Vermont product page cites 11 V.S.A. § 4007 and says registered agents are legally required, with a physical address on the public record, and that the agent is present during business hours. Its FAQ says the Secretary of State sometimes calls them “process agents,” especially for LLCs, and that both terms mean the same thing. The same FAQ says the Corporations Division will reject the filing if you do not appoint one. 11 V.S.A. § 4007 says the company shall keep an agent. It does not print “reject.” Northwest also says you can be your own agent, and that they can act for a Vermont nonprofit. We print those vendor sentences. We do not treat “reject” as a word in 11 V.S.A. § 1655.

The registered-office page also says online filing is normally less than one business day, mail is 7 to 10 business days, and there is no extra fee for online filing. It says paper forms are not available online and are available by request. We do not invent a current paper form number. The filing door we use is the Online Business Service Center. LegalZoom’s Vermont article, updated May 15, 2026, says every LLC and corporation must maintain a registered agent with a physical street, that a P.O. box does not qualify, and that an individual agent must be at least 18. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 does not print 18 and does not print “no P.O. Box.” LegalZoom says the agent is a natural person or a domestic or foreign entity with active Vermont authorization, and that the LLC itself may not be its own agent. The office page says “other than the represented business itself.” 11 V.S.A. § 1655 does not print that ban. LegalZoom says the statute does not require a separate written consent filed with the state, and that the change form must be signed by the new agent. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 says the person who designates the agent attests that the agent consents. We print LegalZoom’s signature sentence and the statute’s attestation. We do not invent a winner. Bizee’s Vermont page says every LLC must appoint and continuously maintain a registered agent with a physical street, that a P.O. box does not satisfy that street, and that the agent is available during normal business hours. That page does not print an age of 18. ZenBusiness’s Vermont page, last updated August 27, 2025, says the registered office address needs to be an actual, physical address in Pennsylvania. That sentence is ZenBusiness copy on a Vermont page. The same page says P.O. boxes and virtual mailing addresses do not qualify, and that the agent must be present during all regular business hours. It says an agent may be an individual resident, or a domestic business corporation or nonprofit, or a foreign corporation qualified to do business. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 also allows a business organization with a place of business in Vermont that is authorized to conduct business here. That list can include a limited liability company. ZenBusiness’s list does not name an LLC. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 does not post Florida-style 10-to-noon and 2-to-4 windows. We print the vendors’ hours sentences and ZenBusiness’s Pennsylvania sentence as vendor copy. We do not treat a company hours line as 11 V.S.A. § 1655, and we do not move Pennsylvania onto the Vermont statute.

11 V.S.A. § 4008 is how an LLC changes the lines. The company may change the designated office by a statement of change. It shall change the agent pursuant to 11 V.S.A. § 1655. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 prices a statement of change of designated agent or designated office, or both, at $35.00, and not to exceed $1,000.00 per filer per calendar year. The fee table LLC row prints Statement of Change, 11 V.S.A. § 4008, $35.00, and cites 11 V.S.A. § 4012. The table prints $35. It does not print the $1,000 cap. We print both. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 prices a statement of change of registered agents or registered office, or both, at $50.00. The fee table’s domestic business-corporation row prints Statement of Change, 11A V.S.A. § 5.02, $25.00, and cites 11A V.S.A. § 1.22. A foreign corporation statement of change on that table is also $25.00. 11 V.S.A. § 1625 prices a statement of change of designated agent or designated office for a person registered under that subchapter at $25.00, not to exceed $1,000.00 per filer per calendar year. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 says a bulk statement of change by the agent collects a separate fee for each business subject to that subsection. We print $35, $50, $25, and both $1,000 caps. We do not invent a winner. ZenBusiness prints Change of Registered Agent at $35 online or by mail. That dollar matches the LLC statute and the LLC row on the fee table. It does not match the corporation statute’s $50, and it does not match the corporation table’s $25. LegalZoom’s article prints a change fee of $25. That dollar matches the corporation table. It does not match the LLC $35, and it does not match the corporation statute’s $50. Bizee’s Vermont page says a change fee applies and varies by entity type. It does not print $35, $25, or $50. Northwest’s Vermont product page says they will pay and file the change. It does not print $35, $25, or $50. We did not retrieve a Northwest Vermont change-page dollar. We will not invent one.

11 V.S.A. § 1655 is also the resignation. The agent submits a statement of resignation and delivers a copy to the affected business. The agency terminates on the earlier of 30 days after the Secretary files the statement of resignation, or the date a statement of change designating a new agent takes effect. The Secretary shall waive the resignation fee if the agent attests that it did not consent. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 and the fee table price an LLC agent’s statement of resignation at no fee. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 and the corporation row on the fee table price a corporation resignation at no fee. The registered-office page says resignations are effective by statute on the 31st day after the resignation is received, and that if no new agent is appointed the business loses good standing, resulting in a Terminated status. We print 30 days after filing and the 31st day after receipt. We do not invent a winner. ZenBusiness says the agent remains on file for 31 days unless a replacement is appointed sooner, and that there is no filing fee. Those 31 days match the office page. They do not match the statute’s 30 days. The $0 matches the fee tables. ZenBusiness also says Vermont law does not technically require the resigning agent to notify the business. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 says the agent delivers a copy to the affected business. We print both. LegalZoom’s article says the resignation is effective on the 31st day after the Secretary receives it, and that if there is no replacement the company loses good standing and a terminated status. We print that sentence next to the statute’s 30-day clock and next to 11 V.S.A. § 4034, which does not name a missing agent.

The annual report is a different paper. Say it once so the dollars do not get mixed up with the agent’s job. 11 V.S.A. § 4033 says an LLC annual report sets forth the name and jurisdiction, the address of the designated office, and the name, email, and address of the agent. The information is current as of signing. The report is delivered within three months after the expiration of the company’s fiscal year. If the report specifies a change to purpose, email, address, or principal information, the Secretary shall amend the records to reflect that change. That amendment sentence does not name the agent. The agent change is still 11 V.S.A. § 1655 and 11 V.S.A. § 4008. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 and the fee table price a domestic LLC annual report at $45 and a foreign LLC annual report at $170. 11A V.S.A. § 16.22 says a corporation’s annual report is delivered within two and one-half months after the corporation’s fiscal year. If the corporation report lacks required information, the Secretary returns it, and a correction within 30 days after the effective date of the notice is timely. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 and the fee table price a domestic corporation annual report at $60 and a foreign corporation annual report at $250. The annual-report page says profit corporations file within the first two and a half months after fiscal year end, and that an LLC, a PLC, or an L3C files within three months. It says you search the business online to see the fiscal year end. It says filings are completed online, and that a paper check uses “I Want to Print & Mail With Check” on the eCheck screen. The statute does not print March 31. A December fiscal year does not turn the LLC window into a date the statute never wrote. We do not invent March 31. LegalZoom’s article prints the annual report fee as $35. We print $45, $60, $170, $250, and LegalZoom’s $35. We do not invent a winner. Bizee’s Vermont page says the articles filing fee is $125 online. The fee table and LegalZoom print articles of organization at $155. We print $125 and $155. We do not invent a winner. That formation dollar is not the agent’s job.

11 V.S.A. § 1656 is what happens when the agent cannot be found. The appointed agent receives any process, notice, or demand. If the person fails to appoint or maintain an agent, or the agent cannot with reasonable diligence be found at the agent’s address, the Secretary of State is an agent. Service on the Secretary is made by leaving duplicate copies. The Secretary forwards one copy by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the principal office or the last known address. Service is effective on the earliest of receipt, the date on a return receipt signed on behalf of the person, or five days after the Secretary deposits the copy with the United States Postal Service, if postage is prepaid to the address in the Secretary’s records. The section does not say this is the only means of service. 11 V.S.A. § 4010 points an LLC at that section. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 prices service on the Secretary under the LLC chapter at $35 each time, recoverable as costs if the party prevails. The fee table’s LLC row prints Service of Process, 11 V.S.A. § 4010, $35. 11A V.S.A. § 5.04 points a corporation at the same service section. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 prices service on the Secretary under that title at $25 each time. The fee table’s corporation row prints Service of Process, 11A V.S.A. § 5.04, $25. 11 V.S.A. § 1625 also has a $25 service line for a person registered under that subchapter. That $25 is not the LLC row. We do not mix those dollars. We do not invent Florida-style clock windows.

11 V.S.A. § 4034 is the LLC termination. The articles of an LLC that fails to file the annual report required by 11 V.S.A. § 4033 shall terminate. That domestic sentence does not say the Secretary notifies the company. A foreign LLC’s certificate of authority shall terminate, and the Secretary shall notify the company. Reinstatement is the annual report together with the annual-report filing fee and the reinstatement fee for each year missed. Reinstatement relates back. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 and the fee table price that reinstatement at $35. The name is lost if the report is not filed on or before five years after the date the report is due. Termination does not terminate the authority of the designated agent. It does not alter limited-liability status. It does not bar a suit in the company name, but a proceeding is subject to dismissal unless the company is reinstated. A missing agent is not the ground in that section. 11A V.S.A. § 14.20 says a corporation that fails to file the annual report required by 11A V.S.A. § 16.22 shall terminate, and the Secretary shall notify it. Reinstatement is the report together with any fee required by law, and it relates back. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 says that for each year the corporation failed to file, the Secretary collects the annual-report fee and a reinstatement fee of $50. The fee table matches $50. The name can be lost if the report is not filed on or before five years after it is due and another corporation requests the name. The office’s “Terminated status” after a resignation with no replacement is a different sentence from 11 V.S.A. § 4034. The business-filings page says good standing means the annual or biennial report is current, the registered agent, registered office, and mailing address are current, the principal office and mailing address are current, and the principal personnel are current. We print the office’s good-standing list and the statute’s annual-report termination. We do not invent a 60-day cure the LLC section does not print. LegalZoom prints a reinstatement fee of $35. That dollar matches the LLC. The corporation reinstatement is $50. Bizee says that if the state cannot reach the agent, the LLC risks losing good standing or administrative dissolution. 11 V.S.A. § 4034 names the missed annual report. We print both. We do not invent a winner.

The public lookup sits on the business search. Confirm the live line on the search before you treat a marketing city as current. The Business Services Division is at 128 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633. The phones are (802) 828-2386 and 888-647-4582.

Bizee and ZenBusiness print 128 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-1104. The office contact we read prints 05633 without the extra four digits. We print both ZIP lines. We do not invent a winner. Those lines are office contacts. They are not a vendor’s registered office. Those lobby hours are the office’s hours. They are not a statutory agent clock. Vermont does not run a Nevada-style ten-company commercial-agent register. The commercial path here is an authorized organization with a Vermont place of business. We did not find a commercial-listing dollar in the LLC fee section. We will not invent one.

Cited prices, retrieved September 25, 2026

We print what the company’s official registered-agent page said on the retrieval date. No company publishes a different Vermont registered-agent price from the national card, except where we note a Vermont-page sentence. We do not invent a renewal.

• LegalZoom: official overview: “$249/year.” The footnote says the service auto-renews at the purchase rate until you cancel, and the renewal rate is subject to change.

Retrieved September 25, 2026 from legalzoom.com/…/registered-agent-overview.html. The live article is /articles/vermont-registered-agent, updated May 15, 2026. It prints a $25 change, articles at $155, an annual report at $35, and a reinstatement fee of $35. The $25 matches the corporation row on the fee table. It does not match the LLC $35 or the corporation statute’s $50. The $155 matches the articles line we read. The $35 report does not match $45 or $60. The $35 reinstatement matches the LLC.

It says the resignation is effective on the 31st day after the Secretary receives it. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 says 30 days after the Secretary files it. It talks about $99 to $300 a year as a market range. That range is not a LegalZoom price. The article publishes no LegalZoom city and no LegalZoom street. We do not invent a higher year-two number.
• ZenBusiness: official pricing help page: $99 plus state fees for the first year, and renewal at $199 a year. Retrieved September 25, 2026 from the pricing help page and the Vermont page. The Vermont page was last updated August 27, 2025. It does not print $99 or $199. It talks about $100 to a few hundred dollars a year as a market range. That range is not a ZenBusiness price. It prints Change of Registered Agent at $35 online or by mail. That dollar matches 11 V.S.A. § 4012 and the LLC row on the fee table. It prints a resignation that stays on file for 31 days with no filing fee. Those 31 days match the office page. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 says 30 days after filing. The $0 matches the fee tables. It says the registered office needs to be a physical address in Pennsylvania. That is ZenBusiness copy. It publishes no ZenBusiness street. Its contact table prints 128 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-1104, SOS.CorporationsSupport@vermont.gov, and (802) 828-2386. The national page says they currently do not offer registered-agent service to PLLCs or nonprofits. That is their national exclusion, not a Vermont statute. We keep the $99 and $199 card. We do not invent a Vermont-only price.

A change of agent is a separate Secretary of State filing. 11 V.S.A. § 4012 prices the LLC change at $35 and caps a filer at $1,000 in a calendar year. The fee table prints $35 and does not print the cap. 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 prices the corporation change at $50. The fee table prices that corporation change at $25. 11 V.S.A. § 1625 prices the chapter 15 change at $25, also capped at $1,000. ZenBusiness prints $35. LegalZoom prints $25. Northwest’s product page does not print a dollar. Bizee says the fee varies and does not print a dollar. The annual report can list the agent. It is still not the registered-agent job. The $45 report is not this change.

Who publishes a Vermont 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 address on the business search before you file. Headquarters is not the registered-agent street. The Secretary of State’s Montpelier contacts are not vendor suites.

• Northwest. The Vermont product page says they scan documents on-site at their registered office in Shelburne, VT. It does not print a street or a suite. We will not invent a Shelburne number, and we do not treat 128 State Street as their suite. Northwest also sells extra mail scans. Those extras are a different product. The city is vendor-claimed. Use the business search for the name on your own filing.
• Bizee. Claims owned offices in all 50 states. The official registered-agent page names no Vermont street. The live Vermont product page names no Vermont street. The contact page lists 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 220, Houston, TX 77064 as headquarters. That address is not a Vermont registered-agent street. The page’s 128 State Street line is the Secretary of State as Bizee prints it.
• LegalZoom. The Vermont article is a live page, updated May 15, 2026. It publishes no LegalZoom city and no LegalZoom street. We do not invent a Montpelier suite or a Burlington suite. We do not treat a LegalZoom virtual-mail street as the registered-agent street.
• ZenBusiness. The Vermont registered-agent page publishes no ZenBusiness street or city. It prints a department contact at 128 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-1104. That line is the office as ZenBusiness prints it. It is not ZenBusiness. We do not treat 128 State Street as their suite. The same page says the registered office needs to be a physical address in Pennsylvania. We print that sentence. We do not move it onto 11A V.S.A. § 5.01.

If you are your own agent, the address on the public record is often your home. 11 V.S.A. § 4007 requires an agent. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 lets an individual resident serve, or an authorized organization with a place of business in Vermont. Northwest says you can serve yourself. LegalZoom adds an age of 18 that 11 V.S.A. § 1655 does not print. A commercial mailbox is not a sentence we found in 11 V.S.A. § 1655. The office page wants a street and a mailing address in Vermont. The articles want a street address. If you hire a company, the agent line is that organization’s name. Northwest’s product page names Shelburne and prints no street. Bizee publishes no Vermont street. LegalZoom publishes no city and no street. ZenBusiness publishes a department contact, not a ZenBusiness suite. We label every published city vendor-claimed. Use the business search. Process Score has not been to those offices.

The $35 change, the $50 statute, the $25 table, and the fiscal-year report

A Vermont limited liability company shall keep an agent under 11 V.S.A. § 1655, and a designated office that may sit outside Vermont. A Vermont business corporation uses that same agent statute and must keep a registered office in this State that matches the agent’s business office. The shared statute is the July 1, 2025 rule. The person who names the agent attests that the agent consents. That is not a separate acceptance record. The LLC change is $35, with a $1,000 yearly cap in the statute that the fee table does not print. The corporation statute says $50. The fee table says $25 for that corporation change, and $25 again for a chapter 15 change, with that chapter’s own $1,000 cap. A bulk change by the agent picks up the chapter 15 fee for each business. Resignation on the statute ends 30 days after the Secretary files it, or sooner if a new agent is named. The office page and LegalZoom and ZenBusiness say the 31st day after receipt. The fee tables price the resignation at $0, and the statute says the Secretary waives the resignation fee when the agent attests that it did not consent. If no agent is kept, or the agent cannot be found with reasonable diligence, the Secretary of State is an agent under 11 V.S.A. § 1656. Service on the Secretary is effective at receipt, at a signed return, or five days after mailing. The LLC service fee is $35. The corporation service fee is $25. The annual report follows the fiscal year. An LLC has three months and pays $45 if it is domestic, or $170 if it is foreign. A corporation has two and one-half months and pays $60 if it is domestic, or $250 if it is foreign. LegalZoom prints $35 for the report. The statute does not print March 31. Miss the report and the articles terminate. There is no 60-day cure in the LLC section we read. Reinstatement is $35 for an LLC and $50 for a corporation, plus the missed report fees, and it relates back. The name can be lost after five years. The office’s Terminated status after a resignation with no new agent is a separate sentence from that annual-report termination. Northwest’s product page claims Shelburne and prints no street. LegalZoom’s article publishes no LegalZoom street. ZenBusiness publishes a department contact and a Pennsylvania street sentence, not a ZenBusiness suite. Bizee names no Vermont street. We do not treat a company hours line as 11 V.S.A. § 1655.

Service of process, not marketing mail

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

• Bizee: notifications by text and email; court papers mailed via FedEx with tracking; portal upload by employees. The Vermont page talks about a physical street and does not print a Vermont street. Contact-page support hours are Monday–Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST. Those are support hours, not registered-office hours. The “3 weeks” line is vendor copy.
• Northwest: “We scan every document you receive right where you receive it—in our office.” The Vermont page adds same-day scans at the Shelburne office. Their extra mail-scan product is a different product. We do not grade those extras as a mailbox.
• LegalZoom: upload, email, and a postcard for urgent legal mail; they say they shred junk mail. The Vermont article is a live page and still publishes no LegalZoom street. Junk-mail shredding is not the job we score. An age of 18 is not the statute.
• ZenBusiness: scan and upload to a dashboard; email; overnight the original for urgent legal notices. Their own FAQ says you cannot use the agent address as your business address. Their national product currently excludes PLLCs and nonprofits; that is their exclusion, not a Vermont statute. The Vermont page prints a department contact and a Pennsylvania address sentence. Those lines are not 11 V.S.A. § 1655.

Home-address privacy

Naming a commercial agent is how many Vermont owners keep a home off the agent line. The Secretary of State still publishes the agent name and address, and the annual report still lists the designated office and the agent. Privacy of the agent line is not privacy of every field. A Vermont limited liability company shall keep an agent. A blank line is not the same thing as a private line. Confirm the live line on the business search.

Scorecards

What this page does not do

• It does not rank mailbox networks or virtual offices.
• It does not publish combined star ratings or a fake 4.8.
• It does not treat a company hours line as 11 V.S.A. § 1655.
• It does not treat the annual report, or the $45 domestic LLC fee, or the $60 domestic corporation fee, as the registered-agent job. The report lists the agent. The job is taking court papers.
• It does not turn the LLC designated office into the corporation’s registered office. 11 V.S.A. § 4007 says the designated office may sit outside Vermont. 11A V.S.A. § 5.01 says the registered office is in this State and matches the agent’s business office.
• It does not invent a winner between 11 V.S.A. § 4012 at $35, the $1,000 cap in that statute, 11A V.S.A. § 1.22 at $50, and the fee table at $25.
• It does not invent a winner between the statute’s 30 days after the Secretary files a resignation and the office page’s 31st day after receipt.
• It does not invent a winner between the fee tables’ $0 resignation and the statute’s sentence that the Secretary waives the resignation fee when the agent attests it did not consent.
• It does not invent a winner between 11 V.S.A. § 1655, which does not print “no P.O. Box,” an age of 18, or a ban on the company serving itself, and the office page, LegalZoom, Bizee, and ZenBusiness, which print street rules of their own.
• It does not treat ZenBusiness’s Pennsylvania sentence as 11A V.S.A. § 5.01.
• It does not treat LegalZoom’s $35 annual-report figure as 11 V.S.A. § 4012 or 11A V.S.A. § 1.22. Those sections print $45 and $60 for domestic companies.
• It does not treat LegalZoom’s $25 change as the only change fee. The LLC statute prints $35. The corporation statute prints $50.
• It does not treat Bizee’s $125 articles figure as the only formation fee. The fee table and LegalZoom print $155.
• It does not invent an age of 18. LegalZoom prints 18. 11 V.S.A. § 1655 and Bizee’s Vermont page do not.
• It does not treat Northwest’s “reject the filing” sentence as 11 V.S.A. § 4007. That section says the company shall keep an agent.
• It does not invent a Northwest change-page dollar. The product page does not print $35, $25, or $50.
• It does not treat the Secretary of State’s “Terminated status” after a resignation as the ground in 11 V.S.A. § 4034. That section names a missed annual report.
• It does not invent a 60-day cure. 11 V.S.A. § 4034 does not print one.
• It does not invent March 31. The clocks are three months and two and one-half months after the fiscal year.
• It does not treat a Houston headquarters as a Vermont street.
• It does not treat 128 State Street as a vendor suite. That contact is the office, as the Secretary of State, Bizee, or ZenBusiness prints it.
• It does not invent a winner between 05633 and 05633-1104.
• It does not invent a Vermont-only price a company did not print.
• It does not invent a Shelburne street, a Burlington street, or a LegalZoom street the pages did not print.
• It does not pretend a Vermont limited liability company may skip the agent. 11 V.S.A. § 4007 says the company shall keep one.
• It does not treat Northwest’s extra mail-scan product as the registered-agent job.
• It does not treat ZenBusiness’s exclusion of PLLCs and nonprofits as a Vermont statute.
• It does not treat ZenBusiness’s or LegalZoom’s market ranges as those companies’ Vermont prices.
• It does not score Vermont tax filings. Income tax is not this filing.

Choosing among being the agent yourself, asking a lawyer, or hiring a commercial agent: DIY vs lawyer vs commercial. Maine’s LLC says registered agent and its corporation says clerk: Maine scorecard. Hawaii’s office is the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and Form X-7 is $25: Hawaii scorecard. West Virginia’s LLC statute says the company may name an agent, and the Secretary of State is the fallback: West Virginia scorecard. California’s scorecard is a different statute: California scorecard. Florida files the acceptance and posts a 10–noon / 2–4 clock: Florida scorecard. Nevada makes a commercial agent register at ten companies: Nevada scorecard.
