North Carolina Registered Agent.co Review (2026)

North Carolina Registered Agent.co charges $99 a year for North Carolina 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 a North Carolina LLC for $199 plus the state fee, counting the first year of agent service in that price. It also handles foreign registration in North Carolina at $199 plus the state fee. Score note: a good match for a North Carolina-only company that wants a flat agent price and files its own annual report.

The $99 plan, line by line

For $99 a year, North Carolina Registered Agent.co acts as the North Carolina 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 North Carolina Registered Agent.co to form a North Carolina LLC

North Carolina Registered Agent.co 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, North Carolina asks for the annual report every year, due April 15 with a $200 fee. North Carolina Registered Agent.co does not file it, so it stays on your list.

North Carolina Registered Agent.co sends the registration to the state for $199, and North Carolina's $250 fee is added. A year of registered agent service rides along. You supply certificate of existence (or similar document, such as a certificate of good standing), issued within 180 days.

Where North Carolina Registered Agent.co stands against Mainstay Filing

Agent service alone adds up to $297 over three years at North Carolina Registered Agent.co 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 annual report, while North Carolina Registered Agent.co's LLC route totals $397 over three years with the agent but no report filing. NC Registered Agent.org is the other North Carolina agent on the card; it charges the same $99 a year, and the two sit close together.
