IA Registered Agent.org Review (2026)

IA Registered Agent.org is a Iowa registered agent 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 an Iowa 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 Iowa through it runs $199 on top of the state fee. Bottom line: it suits an Iowa-only company that likes a fixed agent price and will handle its own biennial report.

What you get for $99 a year

IA Registered Agent.org fills the Iowa registered agent 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 an Iowa LLC with IA Registered Agent.org

IA Registered Agent.org files the formation paperwork for $199, with the state filing fee added. Year one of registered agent 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.

Iowa wants the biennial report every two years, due April 1 of odd-numbered years with a $30 state fee. IA Registered Agent.org does not file it for you.

Registering a foreign LLC in Iowa through IA Registered Agent.org

IA Registered Agent.org handles the state registration for $199, and Iowa charges $100 on top. The first year as registered agent is covered. You supply certificate of existence (good standing) from the state or country of formation, dated within 90 days.

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

For the agent alone, three years with IA 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 biennial report; with IA Registered Agent.org the LLC route adds up to $397 over three years including the agent, but report filing is not covered. Iowa Registered Agent.co, the other Iowa agent we shortlisted, asks the same $99 a year, and the two end up near each other.
