IA Registered Agent.org Review (2026)

IA Registered Agent.org charges $99 a year for Iowa registered agent service, with the same $99 at renewal. The plan includes an in-state street address for the registered office and online scans of legal papers served on the company. The company also forms an Iowa LLC for $199 plus the state fee, counting the first year of agent service in that price. It also handles foreign registration in Iowa at $199 plus the state fee. Score note: a good match for an Iowa-only company that wants a flat agent price and files its own biennial report.

The $99 plan, line by line

For $99 a year, IA Registered Agent.org acts as the Iowa registered agent. You receive an in-state street address for the registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned and posted to your account. Renewal holds at $99.

Using IA Registered Agent.org to form an Iowa LLC

IA Registered Agent.org prepares and files the formation document for $199; the state's filing fee is billed separately. Year one of registered agent service comes with it, and the agent runs $99 a year afterwards. The EIN application is a $99 extra, though the IRS charges nothing for an EIN.

Later, Iowa asks for the biennial report every two years, due April 1 of odd-numbered years with a $30 fee. IA Registered Agent.org does not file it, so it stays on your list.

Bringing an existing company into Iowa with IA Registered Agent.org

IA Registered Agent.org sends the registration to the state for $199, and Iowa's $100 fee is added. A year of registered agent service rides along. You supply certificate of existence (good standing) from the state or country of formation, issued within 90 days.

Where IA Registered Agent.org stands against Mainstay Filing

Agent service alone adds up to $297 over three years at IA Registered Agent.org and $447 at Mainstay Filing, a $150 spread. Mainstay Filing runs a single agent plan across all fifty states and scans the first three government mailings a year free. Mainstay Filing's formation package costs $199 a year and adds the biennial report, while IA Registered Agent.org's LLC route totals $397 over three years with the agent but no report filing. Iowa Registered Agent.co is the other Iowa agent on the card; it charges the same $99 a year, and the two sit close together.
