What does a registered agent do?

A registered agent receives legal notices at an eligible address in the state of registration.

Choose an eligible agent

Check the state’s physical address and availability rules. A provider can help when you cannot reliably maintain an eligible address.

Ask how notices are delivered, whether regular mail is included and how to change agents. Confirm the renewal date and fee before signing.
