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.
