On physical mail and privacy: every legal notice and North Carolina state letter is received here on your behalf, and listing our address keeps your personal one off public filings. We do not run a general mailroom, though. There is no charge to scan service of process the day it lands, a flat $15 to scan any other document, and postage at cost if you want the original in hand.
What's Included for $99
Your registered agent service includes every feature:
- Registered office address in North Carolina — A physical in-state address that meets North Carolina Secretary of State requirements for all your state filings
- SOP imaging for North Carolina — Documents arrive, we scan them, we send them to you—all the same day
- Compliance reminders and alerts — Notifications about annual report deadlines (April 15) and other important filing dates
- Online document portal — 24/7 access to view all your documents and manage your account information
- Privacy protection — Our address appears on your public filings, keeping your home address out of public records
This is complete service. Not a stripped-down version designed to upsell you later. Everyone gets everything — scanning included, no cap on service of process. Note that scanning and portal delivery are what's covered here: mailing you a physical original is a separate per-piece option, not part of the flat $99.
How This Compares
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereMany registered agent services charge $125 to $436 annually for similar features. Some advertise promotional rates but increase renewal prices substantially. Others charge separately for document scanning, online portal access, or compliance notifications. If you're searching for the cheapest registered agent service in North Carolina, the annual price to measure against is our $99. That's the standard rate, not a first-year teaser, and it renews at the same figure.
We think that's needlessly complicated. We set our price at $99 per year and keep it there. Same rate at renewal. No surprise fees for features that should be standard.
When you're comparing services, look beyond the advertised price. Check what's actually included, what renewal costs, and whether there are extra fees for basic features like document scanning.
What Happens After You Sign Up
Once you enroll, we become your registered agent in North Carolina. If you're forming a new business, you'll list our information on your organizational documents. If you're switching from another agent, you'll file a change form with the North Carolina Secretary of State and pay their $5 fee.
We'll send you login credentials for your document portal right away. From there, you can view service details, access any documents we've received, and check upcoming compliance deadlines. If you have questions, we're available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time.
Your service renews annually at the same $99 rate. We'll remind you before renewal time.
The Privacy Value
Part of what you're paying for is privacy protection. North Carolina makes all business filings publicly searchable through the Secretary of State's website. Whatever registered agent address you use ends up in those public records.
If you use your home address, anyone can look it up. When you use our address, your home stays private. This alone is worth the annual fee for many people who value keeping their personal information out of public databases.
North Carolina's Expensive Annual Reports
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereHere's something to know: North Carolina charges $200 for annual reports filed by mail, or $202 to $203 online once the state's electronic fee is added, due April 15 each year. That's one of the more expensive annual report fees in the country.
This is separate from our registered agent fee—you pay the state directly for annual reports. But we send reminders before the deadline so you don't miss it and face penalties. This compliance support is included in your $99 annual fee.
