Rocket Lawyer Sells a Subscription. Missouri Only Requires the Seat.

Disclosure before anything else, because it is the only fair way to run a page like this: we are the competition. MO Registered Agent.org provides Missouri registered agent service at $99 a year and benefits directly when a reader acts on this comparison. What Rocket Lawyer charges is reported below exactly as their site published it in July 2026, with no thumb on the scale.

They Price It Straight, Which Is Rarer Than It Should Be

Rocket Lawyer sets the agent line at $125 annually. That number does not move up or down with the membership level you occupy. There is no teaser rate at the entry tier, no different number for premium members, and no first-year discount our review could find. In a category where half the advertised prices expire after twelve months, a company quoting one steady figure across its entire product line deserves to be told so. This page is not about a pricing trick, because there is not one here.

The Question Is Not the Price, It Is the Package

What Rocket Lawyer actually sells is a legal subscription. Document templates, contract tools, attorney consultations, and a compliance layer, with registered agent service parked inside as one component among many. Draw on those pieces monthly and $125 is defensible money. Use exactly one of them and you are paying platform rent to operate a single control.

Missouri makes that a sharper question than it would be in most states, because so little of what a compliance platform is built to manage actually applies here. Your Missouri LLC files no annual report. The Secretary of State collects no every-other-year substitute from it either, no registration renewal, and no franchise tax. The recurring registration report that Missouri is known for belongs to corporations, and even corporations get an escape hatch: under RSMo 351.122 they may elect to file every other year instead of annually, with even-year companies reporting in even years and odd-year companies in odd ones. That is the state's idea of a demanding schedule.

So the compliance dashboard in a national subscription, the part that tracks your filings and warns you before deadlines, is watching an empty calendar for a Missouri LLC. The subscription price does not shrink to match. It is drawn for fifty states, and Missouri is the state with the least on it.

Twenty-six dollars a year separates the two rates. Use the templates and the attorney access regularly and that gap is trivially worth paying. Want a Missouri street address and quick document turnaround and nothing beyond it, and the gap is buying features you will never open.

What Ninety-Nine Dollars Gets You Here

One product, one price, and the price does not change on renewal. Legal papers delivered to our Missouri registered office are scanned and pushed to your account the same business day they arrive, with an email going out at the same moment, because the response window on a summons opens at service rather than at discovery. Our address occupies the registered office line on your public record so that yours does not. There is a single extra charge anywhere in the relationship: routine business mail scanned at $15 a piece, disclosed on this page rather than on a surprise invoice.

Where we stop short: we are not the low bid in Missouri and we will not pretend to be. BetterLegal publishes $90 a year and that is genuinely under us. Our claim is narrower and survives scrutiny. Ninety-nine dollars is among the lowest flat annual prices in this state, it includes the same-day imaging rather than metering it, and no part of it is contingent on subscribing to anything else.

Filing Rocket Lawyer Out of the Missouri Registered Office Line

Missouri wants one document, priced at ten dollars. The form carries the number Corp. 59, and it is the state's combined instrument for moving a registered agent, moving a registered office, or doing both in one submission. Despite the abbreviation at the front of the number, the same sheet is used by limited liability companies, for-profit corporations, and nonprofit corporations. Completed statements go to the Missouri Secretary of State, Corporations Division.

You will fill in the entity name, whoever is taking the seat, and the registered office address, which Missouri requires to be a physical street location inside its borders. A post office box passes only when a street address rides along with it. The instructions then add the condition that decides everything about timing: the new agent signs the statement, or written consent to the appointment is attached to it. Nobody gets appointed in absentia. The same instructions rule out the obvious shortcut of naming your own company, so an eligible outside individual or corporation has to take the seat.

Sequence, therefore, is fixed rather than optional. Engage the replacement, file the ten-dollar statement, watch for the updated record, and cancel the Rocket Lawyer membership last. Until the Corporations Division processes the filing, Rocket Lawyer is still your agent of record and still responsible for anything served, which is exactly why the cancellation belongs at the end of the list rather than the start. Our change of agent page covers what the state does with the statement after it lands.

One practical note. If the membership is doing other work for you, the agent seat can move without the subscription ending. These are two decisions, not one.
