Yes, you can technically be your own Registered Agent in New York, but there's no reason to be. This is because New York is very different from most other states in that every Limited Liability Company (LLC) has the same Registered Agent by default. We'll explain.
Every corporation, domestic or foreign, must have a Registered Agent with a registered office within the State of New York at all times.
