A registered agent, also known as a resident agent or statutory agent, is a person or company designated to receive legal documents, such as service of process, on behalf of a business entity. The registered agent must have a physical street address within the state where the business entity is incorporated or registered to do business and must be available during normal business hours to accept legal documents on behalf of the business. The registered agent can be an individual, such as a company officer or employee, or a commercial registered agent service, which is a third-party company that acts as a registered agent for multiple businesses. The role of the registered agent is to ensure that the business entity is properly served with legal documents in the event of a lawsuit or other legal proceeding. It is a legal requirement for most of the state and federal governments to have a registered agent in place.
