What is a registered agent? Do I need to use BryteBridge’s partner as my Registered Agent?

A registered agent is an adult or authorized business available during regular business hours (9 am to 5 pm) to accept mail or hand-delivered court documents, such as subpoenas, on your behalf. They must have a physical address—not a PO Box—in the same state where your business was formed or foreign registered.

Most states require a Registered Agent; you can name any qualified registered agent provider or adult you want—including yourself. We strongly encourage you to avoid listing yourself and your address for many reasons. Please read our article, “What is a Registered Agent, and Why Does My Company Need One?”

When you use our Registered Agent Services, you can be confident your important legal notices are received. Our partners will alert you via email to all important mail received on your behalf.
