DESIGNATE A REGISTERED AGENT

Almost ALL jurisdictions require that the corporation designate a registered agent for service of process. However, in most cases, anyone who has a street address, no P.O. BOXES, within the state of incorporation may act as a registered agent for the corporation.

The main purpose of the registered agent requirement is to provide potential claimants against your corporation with a live person, whose whereabouts are available in public records, who may accept service of process on behalf of the corporation. In addition, tax notices and other official documents are usually forwarded to the address of the registered agent.

Persons who require our registered agent services are usually those who are incorporating in one state (Nevada, for example) and operating a business in another state (California, for example).

Most often, you may act as registered agent for your corporation, as long as your registered address is within the state of incorporation. Please note, this address may notbe a post office box.
