The registered agent is the person or entity, if any, named in the articles to receive service or notices at the registered office R5. The articles state "the name of the registered agent, if any," and the registered-office address § 308B.215, subd. 1 P1. Naming an agent is optional; maintaining a registered office is required § 308B.115 P1.

The SOS publishes a form to change the registered office or agent R5. See Registered office.
