The Indiana registered agent rule as the state states it (Indiana Secretary of State)

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

An individual, a general partnership, an Indiana filing entity, or a foreign entity registered in Indiana. A business cannot serve as its own agent. (Ind. Code § 23-0.5-4-3)

The address has to be a physical street address in Indiana. P.O. boxes are not accepted.
