Registered Agent Service

Start Your Business The Right Way: Registered Agent Service

LLCs and corporations must appoint a registered agent when they form and have one in every state they do business. This is due to the requirement of due process, which states that all parties must be properly notified before a legal action can proceed. The registered agent’s main function is to ensure the business receives proper notification in case of a lawsuit.

Registered Agent Service is included in all our corporate incorporation and LLC formation packages. You can also hire us be your registered agent in Wyoming and Delaware for your existing business.

What Is A Registered Agent?

A Registered Agent is a person or company appointed to receive legal notices and official communications on behalf of a business. Other names for a Registered Agent include Statutory Agent, Resident Agent, and Service of Process Agent.

Every state in the U.S. mandates that registered business entities like LLCs and corporations appoint a registered agent and list their information in the formation documents filed with the state. These formation documents, such as articles of organization or articles of incorporation, become public record.

Yes. Not only are registered agents nearly always required by state statutes, but they provide a systematic way to ensure a business can reliably receive official and legal notices (including service of process.)

Service of process refers to the delivery of a legal notice, such as a summons or subpoena, to an individual or business. These legal notices require a prompt response and specific action, such as producing documents, stopping an activity, or appearing in court.

For business entities, service of process is delivered to the designated registered agent. For instance, if a business is being sued, a process server will deliver a summons to the company’s registered agent.

“Statutory Agent” is another term for “Registered Agent”. Other titles include “Resident Agent,” “Agent for Service of Process”, and more. The reason for the various names is that each state has its own laws and terminology for business entities. Here are the most commonly used terms in each state:

  • Statutory Agent: Arizona and Ohio
  • Resident Agent: Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Rhode Island
  • Agent for Service of Process: California, Louisiana, New York, and West Virginia
  • Commercial Clerk: Maine (for domestic corporations)
  • Registered Office Provider: Pennsylvania
  • Registered Agent: Most states and DC.

A National Registered Agent is a group of agents, each serving in their respective state. Hiring a national registered agent means having a local agent in every state where your business operates, as required by state regulations.

A USA Registered Agent is a service provider that offers professional registered agent services in all states of the United States. They provide a registered office in each state and assist in filing documents on behalf of your company. This allows foreign businesses to expand into the US by forming a business in any state they choose.

When selecting a Registered Agent, there are a few essential elements to consider. The ideal registered agent service should have the following:

  1. Pricing: Make sure to check for consistent pricing and avoid companies with low introductory prices and exorbitant increases for annual renewals. This can be confirmed through online customer reviews.
  2. Electronic document delivery: Choose a service that offers electronic delivery of time-sensitive materials instead of physical mail forwarding.
  3. Same-day scans: To ensure timely delivery, look for a service that can receive and scan documents on the same day.
  4. Customer support: Ensure that the service provides a real person you can talk to for help or to answer questions.
  5. Free resources: Look for a service that offers easy access to state forms and templates for essential documents like operating agreements and meeting minutes. Avoid companies that charge extra for these resources.
  6. Additional business services: Consider a service that offers additional business services like mail forwarding, virtual office, annual report compliance, and business formation, in case you may need them in the future.

Requirements for Registered Agents:

State laws generally impose the following requirements for registered agents:

  • Physical Office: Registered agents must have a physical location in the state where they can receive and accept service of process, referred to as their “registered office.”
  • Residency: Registered agents must either reside in the state where they serve or be a business authorized to provide registered agent services in the state and maintain a physical address there.
  • Availability: Registered agents must be available during normal business hours to receive legal documents and official mail.
  • Consent: Registered agents must agree to their designation and in some states, provide a signature on the formation documents to confirm their acceptance of the responsibility. For instance, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming require a signature from the registered agent.

Yes, all states allow an individual or business that meets the requirements to act as their own registered agent. Some states even permit a corporation or LLC to serve as its own registered agent.

The key consideration is whether you should serve as your own registered agent. This role comes with important responsibilities that can have significant impact on your business. If you are not regularly available to receive legal notices at the address listed on your public records, it’s advisable to appoint a professional registered agent. Additionally, listing your own name and home address as the registered agent can result in loss of privacy as the information becomes public record.

Yes! Our clients are able to use our registered agent address as their official business address, preserving their privacy by keeping their personal address off the public record.

Hiring a professional Registered Agent Service takes care of accepting important documents on your behalf, allowing you to focus on other priorities. In addition, it offers benefits such as keeping your personal address private by listing the registered agent’s address on your public documents, same-day document scanning and delivery, reminders for state compliance reports, and easy access to forms and services to maintain your business.

A Registered Agent Service is beneficial in various scenarios such as having multiple locations in different states, lacking a physical address, intending to change your address as your business grows, desiring privacy for your personal address, needing to be available outside of standard office hours, requiring instant access to documents, desiring electronic scans of your documents, seeking reminders for state compliance requirements, and seeking peace of mind.

To change your LLC or corporation’s registered agent, you need to file the appropriate paperwork with the state. The required form may be a change of agent form, amendment, or updated annual/biennial report, which varies by state. Our guide on how to change your registered agent provides a detailed overview of the process, forms, and fees involved, along with links to state-specific instructions.

To resign from being a registered agent for an LLC or corporation, you can simply inform the business and file a statement of resignation with the state government (in most states). The requirements for resignation may vary by state, including the processes, forms, and fees involved.
