An LLC's registered agent can either be an individual or a commercial registered agent service. In either case, your registered agent must be a Delaware resident if you’re forming a Delaware LLC. Keep in mind that the registered agent's address is a matter of public record. This address is where legal documents and official correspondence will be sent.
