What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent, sometimes referred to as a resident agent or an agent for service of process, is a person or company officially recognized by the state that resides within the state of incorporation and is designated by the corporation or LLC to accept service of process on behalf of the company. This may be an individual or another business entity that has a physical location in the state of formation.
Please note that a Post Office Box (PO Box) or Private Mailbox (PMB) “mail service” is usually not sufficient to qualify as a registered agent. Many states provide very specific warnings on using such services and that failure to have a registered agent will be cause for dissolution (closure) of the business.
Why Do You Need a Registered Agent?
If your LLC or corporation fails to appoint a registered agent, you could face default judgments (in the case of a lawsuit), fines, and penalties. You might also risk having your business suspended or terminated.
Legally Required by the State
You are required by the state to have a registered agent for active LLCs, C Corporations, Limited Partnerships, Nonprofits, and most other business entities.
Secure Document Processing
A registered agent must be available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to handle service of process, legal notifications, tax documents, and critical state mailings.
Avoid Penalties and Fines
If you fail to designate a registered agent you could receive penalties and fines, while losing your company status and be prohibited from doing business within the state.
Privacy for You and Your Business
The registered agent’s name and address are public information, which keeps you and your business address out of the public record with the state.

Registered Agent FAQs
- Some examples of the documentation a registered agent (also sometimes referred to as a “resident agent” or “statutory agent”) will receive for you include:Important paperwork, as mentioned above, will be delivered to your registered agent’s physical location (not a post office box) in the state where you operate your business.
- Official federal and state correspondence
- Subpoenas for information
- Tax notices from the IRS and local tax authorities
- Lawsuits
- Summonses to appear in court
- Wage garnishment notices when ordered to withhold a portion of your employee’s wages and send it directly to a person or organization to which that worker owes money
- Corporate filing notifications
If your corporation is “qualified” to do business in other states, those states will generally require a registered agent in that state. For example, if your California Corporation has filed the necessary paperwork in Nevada to conduct business in the State of Nevada, the state of Nevada will require a Nevada registered agent. This may be an individual or another business entity that has a physical location in the state of Nevada.
All corporations incorporated (formed) are required by law to have a registered agent. If you do not pay the fee charged by your designated registered agent (or otherwise have a registered agent), your corporation may be considered defunct by the Secretary of State and lose corporate status. This should be updated annually and/or whenever there is a change.
