Registered Agent Services in Florida
Home turf. Florida's process is cheap and fast to change if you need to — the state's online system (Sunbiz) is one of the more painless ones in this list. Florida calls this role a "registered agent."
Florida's requirement, in plain terms
An individual Florida resident whose business address matches the registered office, another domestic entity whose business address matches, or a foreign entity authorized to do business in Florida. An LLC owner can serve as their own agent personally. Whether the LLC can act as its own agent is genuinely unclear from the statute's wording ("another domestic entity" implies it must be a different entity) — if that matters to you, this is worth a quick question to a Florida business attorney rather than assuming either way.
Changing your registered agent costs $35 via Sunbiz's Statement of Change form.
Nothing exotic here — Florida is one of the more standard, low-friction states in this list, which is itself worth knowing if you're comparing against Nevada's fee stack or New York's mandatory-default mechanic below.
Our picks for Florida
For a Florida-only LLC, Northwest's flat pricing is hard to beat. If you want annual report filing handled for you too, Registered Agents Inc's bundled price is worth the premium. Bizee's free first year is a reasonable way to test the waters if you're bootstrapping.
The default pick. Flat pricing, real support, privacy built in. If you're not sure who to choose, choose this one.
Worth the premium specifically because annual report filing is included — run the math against paying for RA + a separate annual-report service elsewhere before assuming it's expensive.
The volume-tested pick. If you want the provider with the most reviews backing it up, this is it — just read the current checkout price carefully before confirming.

Florida questions
If I move my Florida LLC's address, do I also need to update my registered agent separately?
Yes. Sunbiz tracks your principal address and your registered agent/registered office as separate fields, even when they're the same. Update both.
Can my Florida LLC be its own registered agent?
Individual owners can serve personally. Whether the LLC entity itself can act as its own agent is not clearly settled by the statute's text — most commercial filers use a separate individual or company rather than test this.
