Louisiana registered agent requirements, quoted from the source (Louisiana Secretary of State)
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Louisiana citizen who lives in the state, a law partnership or professional law corporation, or a corporation or LLC formed in Louisiana or authorized there. A new agent signs a notarized acceptance. Statute on point: La. R.S. 12:1308.
The address has to be a registered office in Louisiana, which the law treats as the company's domicile. P.O. boxes and virtual offices are not accepted.
