Utah registered agent rules, from the source (Utah Secretary of State)

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

A commercial registered agent listed with the state, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity), or the holder of a named position in the company. Law cited: Utah Code § 16-17-203.

The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.
