A registered agent is an adult or authorized business that's around during normal business hours to accept mail or hand-delivered court documents on your behalf. They must have a physical address—not a PO Box—in the same state where your business formed or got foreign qualified. You're required to have a registered agent in most states, and you have the freedom to name the one you want—even yourself. When you use our Registered Agent Services, you can be confident your legal notices are in good hands. We'll alert you to all important mail we receive on your behalf, and we'll also give you helpful extras, such as identity theft protection and emails about upcoming deadlines.

You can see all of your payments in My Account. Once you sign in, go to the Account tab, then to the Payment History section. On each payment, you'll see more details along with the option to print a receipt. If you don't see the payment in your account, please call us at (888) 310-0151.

Depending on your profession and state's licensing board, you might be required to operate as either a professional LLC or a professional corporation. To find out, please contact your state's licensing board directly.
