Frequently Asked Questions
What is a registered agent?
A registered agent (also called a statutory agent or resident agent) is a person or company designated to receive legal documents, government notices, and official correspondence on behalf of a business entity. Every state requires businesses to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in that state.
Why can't I be my own registered agent?
You can, but there are significant drawbacks: you must be available at a physical address during all business hours, your address becomes public record, and if you miss a service of process, you could face a default judgment. A professional registered agent provides privacy, reliability, and peace of mind.
How do I switch my registered agent to CLS?
Switching is simple and free. We handle all the paperwork—just provide your entity details and we'll file the change of agent form with the Secretary of State. There's no fee from CLS for the switch, and service begins immediately upon state acceptance.
What documents will my registered agent receive?
Your registered agent receives service of process (lawsuits), state correspondence, annual report reminders, tax notices, and other official government documents. We scan and forward everything to you the same day it arrives.
