Forming in a state you do not live in is ordinary, but the agent requirement is in-state, which is exactly the gap a commercial agent fills. The services below each say on their own site that they serve founders outside the U.S.
Why non-residents need this more than anyone
The registered office has to be a street address in the formation state where process can be
served. If you live there, you can be your own agent; if you do not, you cannot. That is the
whole product. What each state requires is on its page.
