Minnesota registered agent rules (official, Minnesota Secretary of State)
A Minnesota LLC must keep a registered office in Minnesota; naming an agent there is optional.
If one is named: a Minnesota resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Minnesota or authorized there, with a business office at the registered office. (Minn. Stat. § 5.36)
Every Minnesota LLC keeps a registered office at an actual office location in Minnesota; a P.O. box by itself is not accepted.
