WHAT
What Is a Registered Agent?
A Registered Agent is a legal requirement for all U.S. companies. It’s the official contact that receives important legal and government documents on your behalf — such as:
Tax notices from the IRS
Legal summons and lawsuits (service of process)
Compliance reminders from the state
Whether you’re forming a new LLC or C Corporation, or maintaining an existing one, you must have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of incorporation.
WHY
Why You Need One
A registered agent is essential for every U.S. company because:
It’s required by law to maintain your company’s good standing with the state.
They receive and manage important legal and tax documents on your behalf, ensuring you never miss critical notices.
It protects your privacy by keeping your personal or business address off public records.
It enables you to operate your business remotely without needing a physical office in the U.S.
A reliable registered agent helps you stay compliant by forwarding official documents promptly and reminding you of important deadlines.
