CO registered agent
Colorado registered agent service, $3.50 a year
Colorado requires every corporation and LLC on its books to keep a registered agent at a real address in the state. Here is what Colorado law says about who that agent has to be and where it has to be.
What Colorado requires of a registered agent
The requirement
Unified rule for ALL Colorado entity types (Title 7, Article 90, Part 7): the registered agent must be (a) an individual 18 or older whose primary residence or usual place of business is in Colorado (from July 1, 2025, residency must be shown by a Colorado driver's license/ID or otherwise verified with the secretary of state), (b) a domestic entity in good standing with a usual place of business in Colorado, or (c) a foreign entity authorized and in good standing with a usual place of business in Colorado. An entity in good standing with a usual place of business in the state may serve as its own registered agent (7-90-701(2)).
Every domestic entity for which a constituent filed document is on file in the records of the secretary of state and every foreign entity authorized to transact business or conduct activities in this state shall continuously maintain in this state a registered agent that is: (a)(I) An individual who is eighteen years of age or older and whose primary residence or usual place of business is in this state. ... (b) A domestic entity in good standing ... having a usual place of business in this state; or (c) A foreign entity authorized ... in good standing ... (2) An entity in good standing as listed in the secretary of state's records and having a usual place of business in this state may serve as its own registered agent.

How we comply
We don't.
What Colorado does to your company when we don't
Here is what the state does to an entity that has no agent, or whose agent is us.
And also
Declaration of delinquency: an entity that does not comply with Part 7 (registered agents and service of process) may be declared delinquent by the secretary of state; the entity becomes delinquent 60 days after the secretary's determination unless it cures.
A domestic entity that is a reporting entity may be declared delinquent under section 7-90-902 if: ... (c) The domestic entity does not comply with part 7 of this article, providing for registered agents and service of process

No access to the courts
A delinquent entity cannot maintain a court proceeding in Colorado to collect its debts until it cures the delinquency; courts may stay proceedings while delinquency is determined.
A delinquent entity may not maintain a proceeding in any court in this state for the collection of its debts until it has cured its delinquency pursuant to section 7-90-904 (1), (2), or (3).

Administrative dissolution
A domestic entity delinquent for three years or more may be dissolved under § 7-90-908 (a manager files a statement of dissolution of delinquent entity after 30 days' notice to owners); the dissolved entity continues only to wind up. Note: Colorado's entity existence otherwise continues despite delinquency (7-90-903(4)).
A delinquent domestic entity may be dissolved at any time and by any manner as may be provided or permitted by its constituent documents and organic statutes and, if it has failed to cure its delinquency for three years or more, the delinquent domestic entity may be dissolved pursuant to section 7-90-908.

Revocation (foreign entities)
Colorado repealed formal revocation of foreign authority (§ 7-90-808 '(Repealed)'); a foreign entity that fails to maintain a registered agent is instead declared delinquent on the same Part 7 ground, with cure available by compliance or by filing a statement of foreign entity withdrawal (7-90-904(2)).
A foreign entity that is a reporting entity may be declared delinquent under section 7-90-902 if: ... (c) The foreign entity does not comply with part 7 of this article, providing for registered agents and service of process

The bill to come back
We couldn't be bothered to look this up. incFACTS carries no human-verified reinstatement fee for Colorado in the registered agent dataset, and we are not the kind of company that checks.
What happens to the lawsuit you never saw
Substituted service
No service on the secretary of state. If the entity has no registered agent, or the agent is not at the registered agent address or cannot with reasonable diligence be served, the entity may be served directly by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its principal address; service is perfected at the earliest of actual receipt, the signed return-receipt date, or five days after mailing.

Service is perfected under this subsection (2) at the earliest of: (a) The date the entity receives the process ...; (b) The date shown on the return receipt, if signed on behalf of the entity; or (c) Five days after mailing.
