Registered Agents 101:
What They Do and Why It Matters

What is a Registered Agent?

A registered agent is the go-to person who’s officially listed on your LLC to receive legal documents and government notices for your business. They have to be available during regular business hours—no skipping town, no running errands, or long lunches—because if something important gets delivered (like a lawsuit or a notice from the state), someone needs to be there to physically accept it. If no one’s there when papers are served, your business could miss deadlines, rack up penalties, or even fall out of good standing with the state. That’s why it’s a big deal to have a reliable registered agent who won’t flake when it counts.

Who Needs a Registered Agent?

Anyone who has an LLC or corporation needs a registered agent—it’s required by law in every state. It doesn’t matter if you just have a side hustle (maybe you’re a part-time Uber driver or you sell earrings online) or you’re launching a company that’s generating hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

If you’re forming a business entity, you need someone who’s officially listed to accept legal documents and government mail. You can be your own registered agent, but that means being tied to one place during business hours every weekday. It also means your name and residential address are published on public records.

Most people choose a professional registered agent so they don’t have to stress about missing something important—or worse, getting served papers in front of employees or clients. We make it easy by officially becoming your registered agent when you form with us.

Who Can Be a Registered Agent?

Acting as a registered agent comes with specific legal requirements—and meeting them isn’t optional. At LLC Attorney, we check every box, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Here’s what’s required to do it right:

  • Having a physical address: The registered agent must have a real street address (not a P.O. box) in the state where your LLC or corporation is formed.
  • Being located in the same state: The registered agent must be located in the same state as you formed your business. If your LLC is registered in Montana, for example, your registered agent needs to have a Montana address.
  • Being available during business hours: They have to be reliably available at that address Monday through Friday, 9am–5pm local time, to accept legal papers, tax notices, or anything from the state. That means, no calling out sick or working remotely if you choose to be your own registered agent.
  • At least 18 years old: If you're choosing a person that will receive your email at the location of the registered agent you’ve designated, then they must be an adult.
  • Knowingly providing consent: Your registered agent must knowingly agree to take on the responsibility of being your registered agent. You can’t just list someone without their permission.

In short, it needs to be someone dependable, tied to a physical location in the state where your entity is registered, and available every workday. For most business owners, that's a tall order which is why we include it in all our packages.

Can You Be Your Own Registered Agent?

Yes, you can be your own registered agent—but it comes with a few strings attached. In our experience, most clients don't want the responsibility or the pressure.

To be your own registered agent, you must be available in person at your listed address during all regular business hours, which means no stepping out, no vacations, and no flexibility during the workday. You also have to be prepared to receive legal documents or government notices on the spot.

For many business owners, it’s just not worth the hassle—or the risk of missing something important. That’s why most people choose a professional registered agent to handle it for them.
