California Registered Agent.ai Review (2026)

California Registered Agent.ai takes on the California agent for service of process job at $99 a year. That includes a registered office address in the state, plus scans of anything served on the company waiting in your account. Renewal does not change it: $99 again.

California Registered Agent.ai files the formation paperwork for $199, plus the state's filing fee. Your first year as agent for service of process comes with it; after that the agent is $99 a year. An EIN application adds $99, although the IRS issues EINs free.

California Registered Agent.ai will not file the Statement of Information for you. In California it comes around every two years, due last day of the LLC's registration-anniversary month, biennially, and the state bills $20, so keep it on your list.

California Registered Agent.ai files the state registration for $199, with California's $70 fee added. Year one as your agent for service of process is covered. You bring certificate of good standing (existence or status) from the home state, dated within 180 days.

Agent service alone costs $297 over three years with California Registered Agent.ai and $447 with Mainstay Filing, so $150 separates them. Mainstay Filing runs one agent plan that is valid in all fifty states and scans the first three government mailings a year free. The Mainstay Filing package is $199 a year and takes the Statement of Information off your list; the California Registered Agent.ai route totals $397 over three years with the agent but without report filing. CA Registered Agent.org, the other California agent we grade, charges the same $99 a year, and the two grades sit close together.
