CA Registered Agent.org Review (2026)

For California agent for service of process duty, CA Registered Agent.org charges $99 a year, the same $99 at renewal. You get a street address in the state to use as your registered office, and each legal paper served on the company is scanned to your account. Launching a California LLC through the company is $199 plus the state fee, with your first year of agent service covered. Bringing an outside company into California costs $199 plus the state fee. The grade in one line: right for a California-only launch that wants a fixed agent price and will do its own Statement of Information.

What the $99 a year gets you

CA Registered Agent.org 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.

Launching a California LLC with CA Registered Agent.org

CA Registered Agent.org 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.

CA Registered Agent.org 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.

CA Registered Agent.org 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.

CA Registered Agent.org next to Mainstay Filing and the rest of the grades

Agent service alone costs $297 over three years with CA Registered Agent.org 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 CA Registered Agent.org route totals $397 over three years with the agent but without report filing. California Registered Agent.ai, the other California agent we grade, charges the same $99 a year, and the two grades sit close together.
