Maine Corporate Filing Guide

Corporate Filing Frequently Asked Questions

What’s all this stuff about commercial registered agents, noncommercial registered agents, and clerks?

Basically, corporations have to have a clerk (a personal name). All other entities have a registered agent, and we happen to be a commercial registered agent because we do this as our business.

How do I file my Maine corporation or LLC?

Maine requires formation filings to be submitted on paper, either by mail or in person, and they must have original signatures. (Annual reports can be filed online.)

Maine Registered Agent LLC has all the forms you might need to make corporate filings with the Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, UCC & Commissions inside your online account. The State of Maine requires you to enter the agent number of your clerk or registered agent on the forms. The Maine commercial registered agent does not have to sign the forms. We pre-populate the forms with our Maine commercial agent number and information, so you don’t have to be confused.
