A registered agent is required for all U.S. businesses and is a commonly misunderstood requirement. It is necessary for every business to maintain a registered agent without any lapse in order to stay compliant with the state.

This also means that where you maintain a foreign qualification, or are formally conducting business in a foreign state, you must also maintain a registered agent in that state.

That's one of the reasons we offer our convenient renewal service, which ensures that at no point will you ever be without a registered agent in any state where we act as your registered agent.
