The Georgia registered agent rule as the state states it (Georgia Secretary of State)
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Georgia resident, a Georgia corporation or LLC, or a corporation or LLC from another state with authority to do business in Georgia. An entity cannot be its own agent. Governing section: O.C.G.A. § 14-11-209.
The address has to be a Georgia street address that is also the agent's business office, and the agent has to be located there. A P.O. box or mail drop cannot be used.
