What is a registered agent?
Although a corporation and a LLC is a separate legal entity, the entity itself cannot physically receive any documents sent to it. Therefore every Secretary of State’s statutes requires that a corporation or a LLC have a registered agent, an individual designated by the legal entity to receive documents.
The registered agent must have a physical address in the same state where the legal entity was filed. An individual over the age of 18 can serve as the registered agent and a corporation can serve as a registered agent on behalf of the LLC or Corporation. The terms registered agent, resident agent and statutory agent all have the same exact meaning. .
