North Carolina Registered Agent.co Review (2026)

For North Carolina registered agent duty, North Carolina Registered Agent.co 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 North Carolina LLC through the company is $199 plus the state fee, with your first year of agent service covered. Bringing an outside company into North Carolina costs $199 plus the state fee. The grade in one line: right for a North Carolina-only launch that wants a fixed agent price and will do its own annual report.

North Carolina Registered Agent.co next to Mainstay Filing and the rest of the grades

Agent service alone costs $297 over three years with North Carolina Registered Agent.co 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 annual report off your list; the North Carolina Registered Agent.co route totals $397 over three years with the agent but without report filing. NC Registered Agent.org, the other North Carolina agent we grade, charges the same $99 a year, and the two grades sit close together.
