CA Registered Agent.org Review (2026)

CA Registered Agent.org is a California agent for service of process service at $99 a year, the same $99 at renewal. You get a registered office address inside the state, and a scan of each legal paper served on the company lands in your online account. Starting a California LLC with this company runs $199 above the state fee, and the first year as your agent is thrown in. Registering an outside company in California through it runs $199 on top of the state fee. Bottom line: it suits a California-only company that likes a fixed agent price and will handle its own Statement of Information.

What you get for $99 a year

CA Registered Agent.org fills the California agent for service of process role at $99 a year. The plan includes a registered office address inside the state, and each legal paper served on the company is scanned into your online account. The price holds at $99 on renewal.

Starting a California LLC with CA Registered Agent.org

CA Registered Agent.org files the formation paperwork for $199, with the state filing fee added. Year one of agent for service of process service comes with it, and the agent then costs $99 a year. The EIN application is an extra $99, though the IRS hands out EINs for free.

California wants the Statement of Information every two years, due last day of the LLC's registration-anniversary month, biennially with a $20 state fee. CA Registered Agent.org does not file it for you.

CA Registered Agent.org handles the state registration for $199, and California charges $70 on top. The first year as agent for service of process is covered. You supply certificate of good standing (existence or status) from the home state, dated within 180 days.

CA Registered Agent.org compared with Mainstay Filing and the rest of the list

For the agent alone, three years with CA Registered Agent.org come to $297 and with Mainstay Filing to $447, a difference of $150. Mainstay Filing has a single agent plan that is good in every state and scans the first three government mailings a year free. Mainstay Filing's package is $199 a year and includes the Statement of Information; with CA Registered Agent.org the LLC route adds up to $397 over three years including the agent, but report filing is not covered. California Registered Agent.ai, the other California agent we shortlisted, asks the same $99 a year, and the two end up near each other.
