Indiana Registered Agent Service
Yes. Indiana law requires every registered business to continuously maintain a registered agent and a registered office in Indiana, and PO boxes are not accepted. Indiana goes further than most states on one point: a business cannot serve as its own registered agent, so the agent must be a separate individual or company with an Indiana address.

Deadline rules from the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division (INBiz) · reviewed September 2026. We confirm every date when you file.
What does Indiana require of your registered agent?
The rule
Governing statute: Ind. Code § 23-0.5-4 (registered agents, Indiana Uniform Business Organizations Code) and Ind. Code § 23-0.5-2-13 (business entity report)
The registered agent address must be an Indiana address and PO boxes are not acceptable. The agent may be an individual or a business authorized to receive service of process, notice or demand on the entity’s behalf — but a business cannot serve as its own registered agent, so an out-of-state owner without an Indiana contact has to appoint someone else.
The registered agent receives service of process and the state’s notices, and Indiana emails report reminders and past-due notices to the registered agent’s address as well as the business email, so that inbox and that street address both have to be live.
If you have no agent
The registered agent and address are part of the business entity report; let the record lapse and the Secretary of State’s reminders, past-due notice and pending-dissolution notice all go to an address you no longer read, ending in administrative dissolution for domestic entities or revocation for foreign ones.
New to the role? What the registered agent does, in plain English — 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 Indiana the law says registered agent. Which term each state uses.

Can you be your own registered agent in Indiana?
You can name yourself as an individual if you have an Indiana address, but you cannot name the company: Indiana states plainly that a business cannot serve as its own registered agent. The Indiana address is public and cannot be a PO box, and it is one of the addresses the state uses for business entity report reminders, past-due notices and the pending administrative dissolution notice. Because the report only comes around every other year, an address that quietly goes stale is easy to miss until the entity is already dissolved. The full guide: Can you be your own registered agent?
Should you be your own registered agent?
Three honest questions about Indiana. If you don’t need us, we’ll say so.
- Address privacyNow
- Reaching you with legal papers
- Other states
Is it fine if your home or office address goes on the public record?
As your own registered agent, the street address you list is the one that appears on Indiana's public record.
Should you even hire a registered agent?
If you live in Indiana, keep regular hours at a fixed address, and run one entity, you may not need us, and we will tell you so. A service earns its keep when you value privacy, travel, run more than one entity, or operate across state lines.

Questions about registered agent service in Indiana
Do I need a registered agent in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana law requires businesses to continuously maintain a registered agent and a registered office in Indiana, and PO boxes are not acceptable. The Secretary of State adds a rule many states do not have: a business cannot serve as its own registered agent, so the agent must be a separate individual or company with an Indiana address.
Can I be my own registered agent in Indiana?
You can serve personally if you have an Indiana address, but your company cannot be its own registered agent under Indiana’s rules. The catch is that the address is public, cannot be a PO box, and is where the state sends business entity report reminders and past-due notices — and that report only comes around every other year.
What happens if my Indiana LLC has no registered agent?
Notices stop reaching you. Indiana emails report reminders and past-due notices to the registered agent as well as the business, then mails a pending administrative dissolution notice. Failing to file the business entity report ends in administrative dissolution for Indiana businesses or revocation for foreign ones, and reinstatement first requires a Department of Revenue tax clearance.
How do I change my registered agent in Indiana?
Entity-filed change for an Indiana domestic LLC under the Uniform Business Organizations Administrative Provisions Act. Use INBiz to replace the registered agent on the existing entity record. Arrange the new appointment before submitting the change and make the filing's required consent representation. The Act also covers registered foreign LLCs and business and nonprofit corporations. Select the correct Indiana entity record. Agent-filed changes by commercial or noncommercial agents are separate filings from the entity's replacement of its agent.
How much does an Indiana registered agent cost?
Pricing is custom to your portfolio of entities and states, and most quotes are same-day. Call 212-202-5750 or start a filing and we’ll price exactly what you need. State filing fees are set by the state and confirmed with you before anything is filed.
