| Registered Agent
A registered agent is the person that will accept service of process on behalf of a business entity. The registered office is the address where the registered agent is located during normal business hours. The registered office address must be a street address. A post office box is not acceptable.
The registered agent must be an individual or another business entity with an active filing or registration on record. A business entity cannot serve as its own Registered Agent; however, an individual associated with a particular business entity may serve as the entity's Registered Agent. In other words, XYZ ENTERPRISES, INC. cannot list itself (XYZ ENTERPRISES, INC.) as its own Registered Agent. However, Robert Smith, who is the president of XYZ ENTERPRISES, INC. may serve as the Registered Agent for XYZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
Acting as an RA is a simple form of additional profit for online incorporation companies and attorneys, who may charge between $100 to $300 a year for this service. At ExportAction, we make a one-time charge to set up the service and don't charge annual repeat fees for doing next to nothing.
