How service and notices work
Your agent receives qualifying legal notices and state correspondence at a registered office in Maine and forwards them to you. Your agent name and office address are provided after payment.
What’s included
Your purchase includes 12 months of registered-agent service and, for an existing business, the change-of-agent filing. Legal advice, company formation, and annual-report filing are not included.
What happens after payment
For an existing business, we file the change-of-agent form with the state for you. You pay the state fee at checkout, and CivicNest passes it through at cost. Track your filing on your order status page. We email you when the state accepts the appointment.
If you are forming a business, use the agent details in your confirmation email and order status page in the formation filing you submit.
Questions
Maine registered‑agent FAQ
What does registered-agent service in Maine include?
Your first year includes a registered office in Maine and receipt and forwarding of qualifying legal and state notices. Your agent details are provided after payment. Company formation, annual-report filing, and legal advice are not included.
How much will I pay for a registered agent in Maine?
If you are forming a business, your first-year registered-agent service costs $99; company formation and its filing fees are separate. If you are switching an existing business, your first-year total is $134.00: $99 for service plus a $35.00 state filing fee. Service renews annually at the then-current price until cancelled.
Who files my registered-agent change in Maine?
CivicNest prepares and submits the Statement of Change of Registered Agent/Registered Office for your existing business. We contact you if more information is needed and email you when the state accepts the appointment. If you are forming a business instead, you appoint the agent in the formation filing you submit.
What happens after I pay?
Your confirmation email and order status page provide your registered-agent details and receipt. For an existing business, CivicNest handles the change filing and emails you when the state accepts it. If you are forming a business, use those agent details in the formation filing you submit. Payment confirmation does not mean the state has accepted a filing.
Does this keep every business address private?
The service supplies an address for your business's registered-agent listing. Other addresses required in state filings may still be public. Registered-agent service is not a general business-mail or virtual-office service.
