Which Article Should I Start With?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start if I am learning about registered agents?

Start with What Is a Registered Agent?. If you already know the basics, use the articles about requirements, responsibilities, changing agents, or whether you can serve as your own registered agent.

Do I need a registered agent for my business?

Most LLCs and corporations need a registered agent in the state where they are formed and in states where they are foreign qualified. See Do I Need a Registered Agent? for details.

Can I use the registered agent address as my business address?

Usually no. A registered agent address is for receiving legal and state documents, not for general business mail, customer returns, packages, or public-facing business operations. See What Does ZenBusiness Registered Agent Service Include?.
