What Is a Registered Agent & Why Do You Need One?
Every LLC and corporation in the US is legally required to have a registered agent — a person or service authorized to receive legal documents, tax notices, and government correspondence on your behalf.
Using a registered agent service (instead of yourself) keeps your home address off public records, ensures you never miss a legal deadline, and maintains compliance across all states where you do business.
Most services also send compliance reminders for annual reports, franchise tax deadlines, and other state requirements that can result in penalties or dissolution if missed.
