What is a registered agent and do I need one? What is a registered agent and do I need one?
Most states require that corporations maintain a designated person or entity (a resident of the state of incorporation) to be responsible for receiving vital legal and tax documents on behalf of the corporation. This person or entity is referred to as "Registered Agent." Service performed by most Registered Agent includes providing a local address for service of process in the state of incorporation, and forwarding official state and federal mail.
If you reside in the state of incorporation and maintain a physical presence, you can serve as your own registered agent. |
