Michigan Registered Agent: the public record comes first

The official source for Michigan Registered agent records

Every listing on this page is an official government register: coverage is evidenced by the register's own pages, never asserted. Ordering is a printed rule, not a rating: registers with a verified official fee first, then by verified-fact count, then by name.

What to know before you search

Verify before anything else. The official search linked in the table shows the current agent of record for any registered Michigan entity; that lookup is the authoritative answer, and it is where you confirm a change actually landed after any filing.

Michigan moved its register onto the MiBusiness Registry Portal in 2025 and stopped accepting paper annual filings outright, so the portal is now the only door for statements and reports.

If you are choosing an agent for your own company rather than checking someone else's, the trade-off is the same in Michigan as everywhere: serving as your own agent puts your street address on the public record and ties you to business hours, while a commercial service sells coverage and privacy. The referral below is disclosed where it appears, and the register facts on this page do not depend on it.

Whether you typed it as "registered agent michigan" or something close, the destination does not change: one official register, linked above.

How do I find out who a company's registered agent is in Michigan?

Search the entity in the official register (Michigan Corporations Division (LARA)); the agent of record is part of the public listing. The link and the register's verified facts are in the table above.

Can I be my own registered agent in Michigan?

Generally yes, with a street address in Michigan and availability during business hours; your address becomes part of the public record. Our guide on whether an LLC needs a registered agent walks the decision.

How do I change a registered agent in Michigan?

File the state's change-of-agent route with the new agent's consent, then confirm the new agent shows on the official record; the register, not a service dashboard, is the proof. Our change-of-agent guide covers the steps.
