Ohio registered agent questions
Do I need a registered agent in Ohio?
Yes. Ohio — like every US state — requires your LLC or corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical Ohio address, available during business hours to receive legal documents and state mail. You can be your own agent only if you have a Ohio street address and are personally available every weekday.
Can I use Kicker as my Ohio 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 Ohio address and handle every document that arrives — this is one of the most common reasons international founders use us.
How do I switch my Ohio registered agent to Kicker?
After you sign up we prepare the Ohio 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.
