Year One Is Free. Year Two Is Unlisted.

Disclosure first, since disclosure is the whole argument. Idaho Registered Agent.co sells the service this page recommends. What we hold against Inc Authority is not a judgment about how well they do the work; it is a missing number, and you can go confirm it is missing.

Twelve Free Months, No Asterisk We Could Find

Inc Authority hands you the opening year of registered agent service for nothing when you form through them. We poked at it looking for the usual conditions and came up empty. No activation charge, no shortened term dressed up as a year, nothing recovering the value on another line. For an Idaho business in its first twelve months, free is free and it is worth having.

The Renewal Is Not Posted Anywhere

Then the price disappears. We checked. Not on the package tiers, not in the help section, not on the home page. Year two has no figure attached anywhere in the public site, and the pattern in this market says it turns up at checkout or when you call.

We are not filling that blank with a guess. Making up a competitor's renewal would wreck the only argument here, which is that a published price beats an unpublished one. And the argument holds without a number anyway. Idaho Code § 30-21-402 puts a continuing duty on your entity to maintain a registered agent for as long as it is on the register, so the renewal rate, whatever it is, is the figure that decides what this costs you over the life of the business. A figure you have not seen is a comparison you cannot run.

Set that against how the rest of this decision behaves. Idaho publishes what it charges to change agents, and the answer online is nothing. We publish what we charge, which is $99 to start and $99 thereafter. The single figure in the entire calculation that nobody will show you ahead of time belongs to the service that begins by being free. That is an observation about disclosure, not an accusation about anything else.

Both Years, Same Number, Printed

$99 now, $99 next year, on a pricing page you can read without starting an order or talking to a salesperson.

What arrives today is scanned today and emailed today, and it stays in your document vault afterwards. Our Idaho street address goes on the record so your home address does not. Reminders follow your anniversary month, which is when the state wants the report.

One more disclosure, this one against us: BetterLegal's $90 sits below our $99. Read our claim as the low band in Idaho rather than rock bottom.

Can You Leave Inc Authority for Free in Idaho? Yes

The state takes one statement that resets whichever line is wrong, the agent, the office, or both, and it carries no number. File it with the Idaho Secretary of State. Online it is $0. Paper adds $20 for manual handling, which is the only way to make this cost anything.

Appoint the new agent before filing, not after, because the statement names them and the name has to belong to somebody who agreed to serve. Then close the Inc Authority account once the record updates. There is a small practical benefit to moving before the free window ends: with no renewal quoted to you, timing an exit around a bill you have never seen is guesswork, and filing early removes the guessing. Our Idaho change of agent guide covers the mechanics.
