Registered Agent

The one filing nobody reads

Service of process is legally complete the moment it reaches your agent — whether or not anyone opened the envelope. Miss it and a court can rule by default. This is the 20-point checklist we work through with clients.

  • 01
    Coverage
    An agent on file in every state you are registered in, at a real street address someone staffs.
  • 02
    Timing
    How to change agents without leaving a single day of gap on the public record.
  • 03
    Handling
    What happens the day service of process arrives, and who else needs to see it.
  • 04
    Deadlines
    Annual reports, franchise tax, and the response window that runs from the date of service.
  • 05
    Records
    What the state's public record should say about you, and the proof to keep.
