A Platform Subscription and a Six-Month Fuse

We are not neutral and will not pretend to be. North Dakota Registered Agent.co sells the service compared below at $99 a year. Rocket Lawyer's $125 is the figure Rocket Lawyer publishes, logged in a July 2026 check.

One Price on Every Rung

Registered agent service from Rocket Lawyer is $125 annually, billed identically at every membership tier. No entry-level teaser, no top-tier markup, no opening rate that quietly doubles later. That is unusual in this market and it is to their credit.

You Are Buying a Platform

The $125 sits inside a legal services subscription: document templates, form libraries, attorney consultations, and the agent role bundled among them. For a business that opens those tools regularly, the bundle prices well.

For a business that wants a single thing, somewhere in North Dakota that will reliably take delivery of a summons, the bundle is mostly unused shelf space.

What Actually Rides on the Agent in This State

North Dakota's LLC annual report is due November 15 and costs $50. Filed late, it costs $100. That much is ordinary.

What is not ordinary is what waits behind it. At six months past due, § 10-32.1-90 terminates the limited liability company by operation of law. Not a court order, not a hearing, not a notice-and-cure period. The entity simply stops existing, and restoring it runs $135 plus the reports that were never filed.

Every notice along that path is addressed to the registered agent on the record. That is the entire job description, and it is why forwarding speed matters more than the size of the platform standing behind it.

What the Agent Line Owes the State, Independent of Everything Else

North Dakota's expectations of a registered agent are short enough to list in one breath. Hold a physical address inside the state. Be reachable through ordinary business hours. Take delivery of whatever a process server brings. Move it to the company without delay.

A subscription tier cannot add anything to that list and cannot remove anything from it. Whatever else a provider happens to sell, this is the portion the state is genuinely watching, and it is the portion that decides whether an autumn notice lands with you early enough to act on.

Our $99, Itemized

• A compliant North Dakota address published on the state record so yours is not
• Whatever is served on us, scanned and emailed before the day ends
• Reminders timed to the November 15 report
• Full document history in a dashboard you can open at any hour
• $99 now, $99 at every renewal, with no tiers to shop between
• Extra non-legal mail scanned at $15 a piece, disclosed here rather than at billing

Nobody should read $99 as the bottom of this market. BetterLegal's published $90 sits under it. Ours belongs to the low group of North Dakota annual prices, and it is the same number in year six as in year one.

You Move the Agent, Not the Membership

A $10 statement of change through the Secretary of State's FirstStop portal ends the appointment. Our change of agent page has the sequence.

Do not cancel the membership first. The agent line on your record has to name somebody every day of the year, so the replacement gets arranged, then filed, and only after the listing updates does the old account get closed.

Worth adding: keeping Rocket Lawyer is entirely compatible with moving the agent. If the document tools earn their keep, keep them and change only the one line on the state record.

The Difference That Matters

$125 against $99 is a modest annual gap, and by itself it would not justify a page. The difference worth weighing is what each provider is organized to do. Ours does one job, in one state, and is measured by how quickly a scanned summons reaches you.
