Do You Want a Legal Platform, or Just an Agent?
Reliable registered agent coverage for Maine entities. Flat $99/year for the office address, same-day scanning of court papers, and reminders before state deadlines.
Before anything else, the conflict of interest. Maine Registered Agent.co sells the $99 service in the right-hand column and profits if this page persuades you. Rocket Lawyer's pricing is Rocket Lawyer's own published pricing. What we do with it is argument.
One Price at Every Tier, Which We Respect
Agent service from Rocket Lawyer runs $125 annually, the same $125 at every membership level. No tier unlocks a better agent rate. No introductory number expires into a bigger one. In a market full of first-year pricing that quietly doubles, a flat figure behaving the same way whichever door you came through is worth acknowledging, so we acknowledge it.
The Catch Is What the $125 Is Attached To
Rocket Lawyer is a legal platform. Contract templates, document builders, attorney consultations, e-signature, and registered agent service occupying one slot inside all of that. If you want the platform, the agent line is a sensible add-on and $125 is a reasonable price for it.
If you do not want the platform, you are subscribing to a legal service in order to satisfy a Maine filing requirement. That is the whole objection. It is not that the number is high, because $125 is not high. It is that the number arrives attached to things you may never open.
Split it into two questions and it stops being confusing. First: do I want an ongoing legal subscription? Second, separately: who holds my Maine agent appointment? The answers do not have to come from the same company.
Check one more thing before deciding. If a legal subscription already exists somewhere in your stack, or an accountant or attorney covers that ground for you, then the platform half of this offer duplicates something you fund already. That is less an argument against Rocket Lawyer than an argument for auditing what you own before you add another recurring line to it.

What Maine Asks the Agent to Do
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereThe statutory job is narrow. Under 5 M.R.S. ยง 105 your entity appoints an agent for service of process, and what Maine wants from that agent is presence: a real address in the state, somebody there during business hours, and delivery of whatever arrives. Templates and consult minutes fall entirely outside the job description.
So we built for the job description. $99 a year, $99 at renewal, and speed as the deliverable. Anything served on us in Maine gets scanned and uploaded the same business day, with the email going out as it happens. Our address takes the public record slot, which keeps your home out of it. Reminders land before June 1 so the annual report does not ambush you. The only optional line is $15 per item to scan general business mail alongside the legal documents.
Cheapest in Maine? Not quite. BetterLegal lists $90, and it sits in our price comparison with everyone else. Ours is among the lowest flat annual rates, with the renewal locked at the signup figure.
Rocket Lawyer to Us: The Quick Mechanics
Form CLK/RA 3, mailed to Maine's Secretary of State by way of the Division of Corporations, UCC and Commissions, $35 for a for-profit entity, with $50 next-day and $100 same-day expedite available. Our change of agent page has the step-by-step.
Keep one hand on the rail while you do it. The new agent goes on the form, so your successor is engaged before anything gets mailed, and Rocket Lawyer stays your agent of record until the state processes the change. Confirm the record first, cancel second. And check exactly what you are cancelling, because ending the agent service and ending the membership can be two separate buttons inside the same account.
