What Is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent (sometimes called a statutory agent or agent for service of process) is your company’s official contact for legal and government correspondence. The registered agent must have a physical address in the state where your company is registered and must be available during normal business hours.
Registered agent mail commonly includes:
Service of process (lawsuits and legal notices)
Secretary of State notices and compliance reminders
Annual report notifications
Tax notices and other official correspondence
