North Carolina registered agent questions
Do I need a registered agent in North Carolina?
Yes. North Carolina — like every US state — requires your LLC or corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical North Carolina address, available during business hours to receive legal documents and state mail. You can be your own agent only if you have a North Carolina street address and are personally available every weekday.
Can I use Kicker as my North Carolina registered agent if I live abroad?
Absolutely. Non-US founders can't be their own registered agent because a US address is required. We provide a compliant North Carolina address and handle every document that arrives — this is one of the most common reasons international founders use us.
Will you remind me about my North Carolina annual report?
Yes. For an LLC, due April 15 of each year following the year of creation/registration (fixed date, regardless of fiscal year). (Corporations differ: due the 15th day of the 4th month after fiscal year-end.) We track that date and remind you ahead of it — and we can file the report for you too.
How do I switch my North Carolina registered agent to Kicker?
After you sign up we prepare the North Carolina change-of-agent form, file it with the state, and confirm when it's active — usually within 1–5 business days. Your current agent is notified automatically through the state filing.
