What is the difference between a principal address and a mailing address for an LLC?

The principal address is the physical location in Florida where the company conducts business. Florida Department of State Division of Corporations mandates that this be a physical Florida address. A P.O. Box number cannot be used for this address. The Mailing address for an LLC can be a P.O. Box and does not have to be in Florida. What the Florida Department of State does require of this address is that this be a current and good address where you can be reached at any time.

The principal office address may be a post office box, unlike the registered office which must be a street address. The principal mailing address is the address to which any correspondence from the Corporations Division to the corporation will be sent.
