What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent, sometimes referred to as a resident agent or an agent for service of process, is a person or company officially recognized by the state that resides within the state of incorporation and is designated by the corporation or LLC to accept service of process on behalf of the company. This may be an individual or another business entity that has a physical location in the state of formation.
A registered agent must be available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to receive documents. The law requires that you appoint a registered agent if your business is an LLC or corporation and include your registered agent’s information within the Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation.
If your LLC or corporation fails to appoint a registered agent, you could face default judgments (in the case of a lawsuit), fines, and penalties. You might also risk having your business suspended or terminated. Although a business owner or an employee may be allowed to be your registered agent, there are advantages to hiring a third party.
Please note that a Post Office Box (PO Box) or Private Mailbox (PMB) “mail service” is usually not sufficient to qualify as a registered agent. Many states provide very specific warnings on using such services and that failure to have a registered agent will be cause for dissolution (closure) of the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need a Registered Agent?
The Registered Agent must be available Monday – Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at the location specified on your articles in order to accept service of process.
The registered agent’s name and address are public information. If you wish to keep your company’s address information confidential, designating CorXec™ to act as your registered agent affords you that extra added layer of privacy.
What Does a Registered Agent Do?
Some examples of the documentation a registered agent (also sometimes referred to as a “resident agent” or “statutory agent”) will receive for you include:
- Official federal and state correspondence
- Subpoenas for information
- Tax notices from the IRS and local tax authorities
- Lawsuits
- Summonses to appear in court
- Wage garnishment notices when ordered to withhold a portion of your employee’s wages and send it directly to a person or organization to which that worker owes money
- Corporate filing notifications
Important paperwork, as mentioned above, will be delivered to your registered agent’s physical location (not a post office box) in the state where you operate your business.
If I Do Business in More Than One State, Do I Need to Designate a Registered Agent in Each State?
If your corporation is “qualified” to do business in other states, those states will generally require a registered agent in that state. For example, if your California Corporation has filed the necessary paperwork in Nevada to conduct business in the State of Nevada, the state of Nevada will require a Nevada registered agent. This may be an individual or another business entity that has a physical location in the state of Nevada.
What Happens if a Business Fails to Designate or Does Not Renew its Registered Agent?
All corporations incorporated (formed) are required by law to have a registered agent. If you do not pay the fee charged by your designated registered agent (or otherwise have a registered agent), your corporation may be considered defunct by the Secretary of State and lose corporate status. This should be updated annually and/or whenever there is a change.
