Registered Agent FAQs
What happens if I don't have a Registered Agent?
You risk penalties, losing liability protection, or even dissolution of your business. States require a Registered Agent to maintain your good standing, and without one, you could miss crucial legal notices.
Can I be my own Registered Agent?
Yes, but it requires public listing of your address and constant availability during business hours. Your personal address becomes public record, and you must be available to receive documents in person every business day.
Can I change agents later?
Absolutely. You can switch anytime. Changing your Registered Agent is a straightforward process that involves filing a form with your state and possibly a small fee.
Does a Registered Agent need to be in the same state as my business?
Yes. Your Registered Agent must have a physical address in the same state where your business is registered. For businesses operating in multiple states, you need a Registered Agent in each state.
What types of documents will my Registered Agent receive?
Your Registered Agent receives legal documents like service of process (lawsuits), tax notices, annual report reminders, and other official government correspondence related to your business.
Is a Registered Agent service required for LLCs and corporations?
Yes. Nearly all U.S. states require LLCs and corporations to designate a Registered Agent to receive official government and legal correspondence on behalf of the business.
How do I choose the right Registered Agent service?
Look for a provider with a strong compliance track record, secure online access to documents, multi-state coverage if needed, and responsive customer support.
