For domestic corporations (Business Corporation Act of 2015), the registered agent may be an individual who resides in Louisiana, or a domestic or foreign corporationDomestic / foreignRelative to one state's records: an entity is domestic in the state that formed it and foreign everywhere else it registers to do business.Read the full entry → or other eligible entity that continuously maintains a Louisiana office, is authorized to transact business (if foreign), files with the Secretary of State the names of at least two individuals at its Louisiana address authorized to receive process, and is authorized by its organizational documents to act as agent for service of process. For LLCs the rule is narrower: a citizen of the state who resides in Louisiana, or a law-licensed partnership or professional law corporation, or a domestic/foreign corporation or LLC authorized to transact business whose organic documents authorize agent service and which has the two-individuals certificate on file (La. R.S. 12:1308(A)(2)). Foreign corporations remain governed by the pre-2015 law, La. R.S. 12:308(A)(1), which also allows an individual resident whose business office is identical with the registered office, or an individual attorney or law partnership.

Consent required: yes.
What happens when the agent cannot be served
○Pending review
For domestic corporations, if the corporation has no registered agent or the agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, the corporation may be served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the secretary of the corporation at its principal office; service is perfected on receipt, the return-receipt date, or 5 days after mailing. For LLCs and foreign corporations, if the registered office is vacated for 30 days without a statement of change, the office of the Secretary of State may be treated as the registered office (12:1308(F); 12:308(E)).
Other. For a domestic LLC, if the registered office is vacated and no statement of change is filed within 30 days, the office of the Secretary of State may be treated as the LLC's registered office by any person other than the LLC itself.
Revocation Foreign. A foreign LLC's certificate of authority may likewise be revoked (or suspended) for failure to maintain a registered agent or registered office in Louisiana, after 60 days notice and failure to cure.
No Court Access. A foreign corporation or foreign LLC transacting business in Louisiana without authority may not present any judicial demand before any Louisiana court; the burden is on the entity to prove it is authorized.
Civil Penalty. The Secretary of State may impose a penalty of up to $1,000 per violation on a foreign corporation or foreign LLC transacting business without a valid certificate of authority, plus back fees and taxes recoverable by the attorney general (12:314(C), 12:1354(C)).
Reinstatement Fee. A corporation terminated administratively may be reinstated within 5 years by filing articles of reinstatement and an annual report (with the registered agent's written consent to appointment) and paying the annual-report filing fee for each year between the last annual report and reinstatement. LLCs revoked for annual-report failure have a 3-year reinstatement window and must pay the reinstatement fee authorized by R.S. 12:1364(A)(1) (amount set in R.S. 49:222, outside this corpus).

The regime
Louisiana requires any person transacting business under an assumed name (any name other than the real name of the individual conducting the business) to file a notarized certificate at the parish level - with the clerk of court of each parish where the business is or will be conducted, or with the register of conveyances in the city of New Orleans. The certificate is also a condition precedent to obtaining an occupational license receipt. Corporations organized or lawfully doing business in Louisiana are exempt, as are partnerships whose name includes the real name of at least one partner. This parish-level mandatory filing is separate from Louisiana's voluntary trade-name registration with the Secretary of State under R.S. 51:211 et seq.
Where it is filed
Filing is at the parish level: the clerk of court of the parish or parishes where the business is conducted or will be conducted, except in the city of New Orleans, where the filing is with the register of conveyances. The certificate must be executed and acknowledged before a notary public.
Name restrictions
An assumed name may be in any language but must be expressed in English letters or characters for filing; it may not imply the business is a government agency, may not deceptively or falsely suggest the business is a corporate entity, and may not contain words required by law in a corporate name. A separate section bars use of the name of any public park, playground, or other public facility without written governmental consent (enforceable by civil suit with damages and destruction of infringing items).
Assumed names for registered entities
Louisiana's Business Corporation Act expressly leaves assumed / fictitious / trade names outside the corporate-name chapter (R.S. 12:1-401(E)), and corporations are exempt from the parish assumed-name certificate (R.S. 51:283). The name-conflict mechanism for a foreign corporation whose corporate name is unavailable is the fictitious-name reservation: it may reserve the exclusive filing use of a fictitious name with the Secretary of State. Separately, trade names may be registered with the Secretary of State under the voluntary regime of R.S. 51:211 et seq., and a registered trade name is among the names against which corporate names must be distinguishable (R.S. 12:1-401(B)(6)).
Penalties
Violation is punishable by a fine of $25 to $100, or imprisonment of 10 to 60 days, or both, and each day of continued violation is a separate offense. License collectors may not issue an occupational-license receipt without presentation of the assumed-name certificate showing compliance. A licensing official who issues a license without the required compliance is punishable under existing laws for that offense.
$75 Trade Name Registration (Form 309), rising to $95 on October 1, 2026 (Act 921 of 2026). Name reservation $25; assignment $75 (rising to $95); cancellation $75 (rising to $95).
Fees: no filing-fee dollar amount is printed in R.S. 51:281 to 51:284 - the 51:284 heading references a 'fee for certificate needed to obtain license' but the section text states only penalties; clerk-of-court fees are set elsewhere
Term: the act states no duration or renewal requirement for the parish certificate
exclusive-rights: the act is silent on whether the certificate grants any right to the name
voluntary SOS trade-name path: the corpus file for R.S. 51:211-224 contains complete text for only some sections (e.g. 51:220, 51:221, 51:223.1, 51:224); the registration-mechanics sections (51:213-216) show headings without extractable body text, so the voluntary regime is cited but not excerpted
Common questions
Where is a Louisiana assumed business name (DBA) filed?
At the parish level, not with the Secretary of State. La. R.S. 51:281 requires the notarized certificate to be filed with the clerk of court of the parish or parishes where the business is or will be conducted - or, in the city of New Orleans, with the register of conveyances. Louisiana also offers a separate, voluntary trade-name registration with the Secretary of State under R.S. 51:211 et seq.
Do corporations or partnerships have to file the Louisiana assumed-name certificate?
La. R.S. 51:283 exempts any corporation duly organized under Louisiana law or lawfully doing business in Louisiana, and it does not prevent the lawful use of a partnership name that includes the real name of at least one of the persons transacting the business.
What happens if you skip the Louisiana filing?
Under La. R.S. 51:284, a violator 'shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not less than ten days nor more than sixty days, or both,' with each day of continued violation a separate offense. In addition, R.S. 51:281 bars license collectors from issuing an occupational-license receipt without a certificate showing compliance.
Are there restrictions on what a Louisiana assumed name can say?
Yes. The name must be expressed in English letters or characters for filing, may not imply the business is a government agency, may not deceptively or falsely suggest the business is a corporate entity, and may not contain words required by law in a corporate name (La. R.S. 51:281.1). Using the name of a public park, playground, or other public facility requires written consent of the governmental entity (La. R.S. 51:281.2).
