Tennessee registered agent questions
Do I need a registered agent in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee — like every US state — requires your LLC or corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical Tennessee address, available during business hours to receive legal documents and state mail. You can be your own agent only if you have a Tennessee street address and are personally available every weekday.
Can I use Kicker as my Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee annual report?
Yes. First day of the fourth month following the close of the LLC's fiscal year (April 1 for calendar-year entities) We track that date and remind you ahead of it — and we can file the report for you too.
How do I switch my Tennessee registered agent to Kicker?
After you sign up we prepare the Tennessee 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.
