Registered Agent Service — All 50 States
Every business needs a registered agent. We receive legal documents on your behalf, protect your privacy, and notify you instantly — so nothing important ever gets missed.
What Is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive official legal and government documents on behalf of your business. This includes service of process (lawsuits), state correspondence, tax notices, and annual report reminders.
Every state requires businesses to have a registered agent with a physical address in that state. The agent must be available during normal business hours to accept documents.
Without a registered agent, your business can lose good standing, face penalties, or miss critical legal deadlines.
Documents Your Registered Agent Receives:
- ⚖️Service of Process
Lawsuits and legal summons - 🏛️State Correspondence
Official notices from Secretary of State - 📋Annual Report Reminders
Compliance deadline notifications - 💰Tax Notices

- No flexibility — Can’t travel or work remotely during business hours
- Multi-state complications — Need a physical address in every state you operate

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about registered agent services.
Do I legally need a registered agent?
Yes. Every state requires businesses (LLCs, corporations, etc.) to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. PO boxes are not allowed. The agent must be available during normal business hours.
Can I be my own registered agent?
Yes, but it’s not recommended. You’d need to use your home address (which becomes public record), be available every business day during business hours, and personally accept service of process (including lawsuits). Most business owners prefer the privacy and convenience of a professional service.
What happens if I don’t have a registered agent?
Your business can lose its good standing with the state, face penalties, or even be administratively dissolved. If you’re sued, you could receive a default judgment against you because you didn’t receive the legal summons.
How quickly will I receive my documents?
Documents received by 5pm local time are scanned and uploaded to your dashboard the same business day. You’ll receive instant email and SMS notifications the moment they’re available.
Can I use your address for other mail?
Our registered agent address is specifically for official state and legal documents. For general business mail, we offer a separate Business Address service that includes mail forwarding.
What if I operate in multiple states?
We offer registered agent service in all 50 states. If you’re registered in multiple states, we can serve as your agent in each one — with everything consolidated in a single dashboard. Multi-state customers receive discounted pricing.
How do I transfer from another registered agent?
Simply sign up with TrustedLegal, and we’ll handle the transfer paperwork. We prepare and file the registered agent change with your state. There’s no extra fee for the transfer — just our standard annual rate.
What’s included in the $125/year price?
Everything: registered agent service, professional address, instant notifications, online document dashboard, compliance reminders, and unlimited document storage. There are no hidden fees or per-document charges.
