About Our Registered Agent Service
Montana is one of the few states that actually sets out registered agent duties in their legal code. According to 35-7-114 of the Montana Model Registered Agents Act, your registered agent must:
- Forward to clients any process, notice or demand that is served on the agent
- Notify clients whenever notices are received by the agent

Should I Be My Own Registered Agent?
Montana state law doesn’t allow LLCs or corporations to act as their own registered agents. You must appoint either an individual who meets the state’s requirements or a qualified business entity in good standing with the Secretary of State.
Montana Registered Agent Requirement
Every Montana LLC and corporation must continuously maintain a registered agent and registered office in the state. A registered agent is responsible for receiving legal notices, service of process, and official correspondence on behalf of your business and making sure those documents reach you promptly.
