Michigan resident agent rules (official, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA))
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Michigan resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Michigan or authorized there, whose business office (or, for a person, residence) is the registered office. Law: MCL 450.4207.
The address has to be a registered office in Michigan, which does not have to be the place of business. P.O. boxes are not accepted.
