Florida registered agent rules, from the source (Florida Division of Corporations)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

A Florida resident, or a business entity authorized in Florida, whose business address is the registered office. The agent files a written acceptance. Governing rule: Fla. Stat. § 605.0113.

The address has to be a Florida street address that matches the agent's business address. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Florida law sets minimum hours of 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
