Is a registered agent required for my LLC, corporation, or nonprofit?

A registered agent, also known as a statutory agent, is required for any active business entity, such as an LLC, corporation, or nonprofit. This agent’s primary responsibility is to receive and forward legal notices, official state mail, and to act as an agent for service of process. You must have a registered agent in every state where your business is operating.

By designating a registered agent, you provide the courts and state authorities with a physical address for receiving important documents, filings, and notices. It’s vital that your registered agent is available at this address during regular business hours. If, for instance, a lawsuit is filed against your business and the notice doesn’t reach you, you could lose your right to respond and defend yourself in court.

What are the requirements to become a registered agent?

To be a registered agent, the individual or company must meet the following requirements:

  2. Availability During Business Hours: The agent must be available during regular business hours (usually 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to receive legal documents, such as service of process, court notices, and government correspondence.
  3. Eligibility: The registered agent must be a legal entity (such as a professional registered agent service) or an individual who is a resident of the state and legally allowed to conduct business.
