South Dakota registered agent questions
Do I need a registered agent in South Dakota?
Yes. South Dakota — like every US state — requires your LLC or corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical South Dakota address, available during business hours to receive legal documents and state mail. You can be your own agent only if you have a South Dakota street address and are personally available every weekday.
Can I use Kicker as my South Dakota registered agent if I live abroad?
Absolutely. Non-US founders can't be their own registered agent because a US address is required. We provide a compliant South Dakota address and handle every document that arrives — this is one of the most common reasons international founders use us.
Will you remind me about my South Dakota annual report?
Yes. Due by the first day of the LLC's anniversary month (the month the entity was originally filed) each year; may be filed starting 2 months before the due date. Paper annual report is $70. We track that date and remind you ahead of it — and we can file the report for you too.
How do I switch my South Dakota registered agent to Kicker?
After you sign up we prepare the South Dakota change-of-agent form, file it with the state, and confirm when it's active — usually within 1–5 business days. Your current agent is notified automatically through the state filing.
