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.
If you meet that rule, you can name yourself and pay no agent fee.
What will the agent cost me?
From $99 to $149 a year, $297 to $447 across three years.
The agent you pick does not change any state fee.
What will the agent handle?
It gives the LLC an address in Pennsylvania for legal papers and government mail.
We add the filing, two years of reports and any minimum tax for the three-year line. Publication and other variable costs are excluded.
Other quick questions

Are the fees official?
State fees from Pennsylvania's official sources, cited next to each figure; service prices from each company's own pricing.
Do I need to hire a service?
No. The state accepts filings from owners; a service saves time and handles the agent role.
Which registered agent would you pick in Pennsylvania?
Mainstay Filing tops our list because $149 a year buys an agent here and in any state you add later; PA Registered Agent.org and Pennsylvania Registered Agent.co come next.
