Michigan filings commonly use the term “resident agent” rather than registered agent. Both generally refer to the designated contact who receives service of process, legal documents, and official state correspondence on behalf of a business.

Michigan business filings, including resident agent changes, go through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), not a Secretary of State office.

Michigan businesses generally file annual reports with LARA by February 15 each year. Filing deadlines and fees can vary depending on the entity type.

Every LLC and corporation registered in Michigan must have a Registered Agent to receive service of process and legal correspondence from the state. Without one, your business could face penalties or lose good standing.
