What is an Registered Agent?

Having a Registered Agent is a mandatory requirement to keep your company active in the United States.

A Registered Agent serves as the main point of contact between the company and the state, receiving official documents from the IRS, legal notifications, and other compliance documents on behalf of the company. By using a Registered Agent, you protect your personal data from becoming public.

The service can be performed by a company or an individual and must follow a list of requirements such as:

  • Having a physical address within the state where you are registering your company (P.O. boxes are not accepted).
  • Having a qualified professional available to receive documents from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Being aware of state obligations and notifying companies about their deadlines.


The address of the Registered Agent is solely for documents received on behalf of the company, including official IRS documents, legal notifications, and other compliance documents, and cannot be used for bank accounts or other entities.
