GA REQUIREMENTS

Registered Agent Requirements in Georgia

Georgia law requires every LLC and corporation registered in the state to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in Georgia. The Georgia Secretary of State is the state agency responsible for business filings and registered agent records.

Your registered agent must be available during normal business hours (9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday) to accept service of process, tax notices, and official state correspondence. A P.O. Box is not acceptable as a registered agent address.

Georgia requires continuous registered agent coverage. If your registered agent becomes unavailable and you do not appoint a replacement, the Georgia Secretary of Statemay revoke your business's good standing or initiate administrative dissolution proceedings.

What Georgia Businesses Need to Know

Georgia requires LLCs and corporations to file periodic reports with the Georgia Secretary of State. Your annual report is due April 1 annually with a filing fee of $50 (LLCs & Corps). Missing this deadline results in late fees and can lead to loss of good standing.

Your registered agent plays an important role in compliance because the Georgia Secretary of State sends annual report reminders and compliance notices to your registered agent address. If your registered agent is not reliably receiving and forwarding these notices, you may miss critical deadlines.

Changing Your Registered Agent in GA

If you currently have a registered agent in Georgia and want to switch to CrowSmart, the process involves filing a change of agent form with the Georgia Secretary of State and paying a filing fee of $20. The change typically takes effect as soon as the state processes the filing.

When you sign up with CrowSmart, we prepare and file the change of agent form on your behalf at no additional cost. You do not need to notify your previous registered agent separately.

Key Takeaway

Georgia requires every LLC and corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical in-state address. Using CrowSmart protects your personal privacy, ensures reliable document receipt, and keeps your business in good standing with the Georgia Secretary of State.
