Deadline rules from the Colorado Secretary of State · reviewed August 2026. We confirm every date when you file.
What does Colorado require of your registered agent?
The rule
Governing statute: C.R.S. § 7-90-701
The registered agent must have a physical Colorado street address (a primary residence or usual place of business) at which the agent can personally accept documents; a PO box alone is not sufficient, and the agent must consent to the appointment under 7-90-701(3).
The registered agent must be available at the Colorado street address during normal business hours to accept service of process.
If you have no agent
An entity that fails to maintain a registered agent or file its periodic report becomes Delinquent; if not cured the entity can lose good standing and be subject to dissolution, and reinstatement requires a Statement Curing Delinquency.
New to the role? What a registered agent actually receives — the role, explained in plain English.
Other states call the same role a registered agent, resident agent, statutory agent or agent for service of process. In Colorado the law says registered agent. Which term each state uses.

Colorado filings and reminders are online only and no paper notices are mailed, so if the email address on file lapses the owner can miss the periodic report, slip into Delinquent status, then pay a reinstatement fee to cure it. The full guide: Can you be your own registered agent?

Is it fine if your home or office address goes on the public record?
