Pennsylvania registered agent requirements, quoted from the official source (Pennsylvania Secretary of State)
Pennsylvania requires a registered office (a Pennsylvania street address or a Commercial Registered Office Provider), not an agent.
Pennsylvania does not require a registered agent. Every LLC keeps a registered office instead: an actual street address in Pennsylvania, or a Commercial Registered Office Provider named in its place by a company without a Pennsylvania address. Look up 15 Pa.C.S. § 8825.
The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Pennsylvania. A P.O. box alone is not accepted.
