Connecticut LLC Registered Agent — Step 2 of 8
Appoint a qualifying Connecticut registered agent and maintain the required in-state office. An eligible owner, another qualifying individual or entity, or a commercial provider may serve. Choose reliable receipt and forwarding of legal documents.
Connecticut allows a resident natural person and the eligible domestic or authorized/registered foreign corporations, LLCs, registered LLPs and statutory trusts listed in §34-243n. The agent must have a Connecticut place of business and the required in-state street/mailing addresses, and accept the appointment. A commercial service is one option.

What Connecticut Requires
Every Connecticut LLC must continuously maintain a registered agent listed with the Secretary of the State. The requirements are straightforward:
- Physical Connecticut street address — a P.O. box alone doesn't qualify; the agent needs a real, physical in-state location.
- Reliable document receipt — plan prompt handling and forwarding. Do not treat this practical recommendation as a separate statutory eligibility category.
- Qualifying individual or entity — Connecticut allows a resident natural person and the eligible domestic or authorized/registered foreign corporations, LLCs, registered LLPs and statutory trusts listed in §34-243n. The agent must have a Connecticut place of business and the required in-state street/mailing addresses, and accept the appointment. A commercial service is one option.
- Can be you, a co-owner, or a hired service — Connecticut allows self-service as long as you meet the address and availability rules.
