Notes on the order
Mainstay Filing beat IN Registered Agent.org on jobs ticked off, a 28% column.
A foreign LLC already spans two states, so one provider for both ranked first.
Indiana foreign LLC registration fee and rules (official)
An LLC from elsewhere that does business in Indiana needs the Foreign Registration Statement (State Form 56369), filed with the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division for $105. Include certificate of existence (commonly called a certificate of good standing) no older than 60 days.
Without registration, expect Indiana's courts will not hear its own claims (IC 23-0.5-5-2(b)).
