Your Registered Agent, Handled

A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your LLC. This includes service of process (lawsuits), tax notices, annual report reminders, and other state communications. Every LLC is required by law to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation.

Every US state requires LLCs to have a registered agent. The agent must have a physical address (not a PO Box) in the state and be available during normal business hours. For international founders or those who value privacy, using a professional registered agent keeps your personal address off public records and ensures you never miss important legal documents.

Technically yes, but it's not recommended, especially for international founders. You'd need a physical address in the state (not a PO Box), be available during all business hours, and your address becomes public record. Using a professional registered agent provides privacy, reliability, and ensures documents are handled even when you're traveling or unavailable.

Your registered agent receives: service of process (legal notices and lawsuits), annual report notices and reminders, tax documents and notices from the state, official state correspondence, and compliance reminders. We scan and email all documents to you immediately upon receipt.

We provide same-day scanning and email notification for all documents received. When mail arrives at our office, we scan it and send you a secure email notification within hours, often within minutes. You can access all your documents anytime through your online dashboard.

With our service, you won't. We send immediate email notifications when documents arrive, plus we maintain a secure online archive of all your documents. We also send proactive compliance reminders for annual reports and other deadlines so you never miss a filing.
