Can You Be Your Own Registered Agent in Colorado? Yes, If You Meet These Rules

The Colorado rule

Who can serve: A person 18 or older whose home or usual place of business is in Colorado (since July 1, 2025 the person has to hold a Colorado driver's license or ID or otherwise verify residency), or a business entity in good standing with a usual place of business in Colorado. The agent has to consent.

The address: The address has to be a physical address in Colorado, either a home or a usual place of business. P.O. boxes are not accepted.

The LLC itself may be named as its own agent in Colorado. Changing agents in Colorado costs $10. Source: C.R.S. § 7-90-701, checked October 20, 2026.

The trade-offs

• Your Colorado address goes on the public filing.
• Papers are handed to you at that address, so you need to be there when the state’s rule says.
• If you move, you file a change of agent ($10 in Colorado).
