Has anyone discovered their home address through an old LLC filing?

Yep. Welcome to the club. Mine was from a 2016 filing. Took me a year to figure out why I was getting weird mail. You can file a change of registered agent with the state, but the old filing might still be searchable depending on where you are.

What state? That makes a huge difference. Some states archive old filings publicly forever, some actually scrub the address after a certain point.

Colorado is brutal for this. Their business search shows historical filings and and you can't get them removed. I went through a registered agent service after I found out, but the old address is still on the 2018 annual report.

This is exactly why I never use my real address for anything business related. Not trying to sound smug but c'mon.

That's not helpful. Most people don't know this stuff when they first start out. i sure didn't.

I found my old address through a 2015 LLC filing that I completely forgot about. It was on the articles of organization. I ended up forming a new LLC in a different state with a registered agent and using a virtual address for everything. The old one is still out there though. Annoying but not much you can do unless you want to pay a service to try scrubbing it.

Have you looked into whether Colorado lets you redact? Some states have a process if you can show you're at risk.

I think that mostly applies to judges and cops and stuff. Not regular people.

Correct. Unless you have a protective order or something, they won't redact. I tried.

So basically the only solution is to not care or move? Great.

Moving doesn't help because the old address is still tied to the old filing. That's the whole problem. You can't retroactively fix it. You just have to make sure your new stuff is clean and hope nobody digs too deep.

This thread is making me want to go check my old filings. I probably have something from 2014 I forgot about.
