A registered agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your Delaware business. They serve as your official contact point for the Delaware Secretary of State and the courts.
Delaware law requires all registered business entities—including LLCs, corporations, and limited partnerships—to maintain a registered agent. This ensures the state and courts have a reliable way to deliver important legal notices and documents to your business.
Individuals must be Delaware residents. Business entities must maintain a business office in Delaware. Delaware is one of the more permissive states regarding registered agents—an entity can serve as its own registered agent if it has a physical Delaware address.
You'll receive service of process (such as lawsuits and legal claims), correspondence from the Delaware Secretary of State, tax notices, franchise tax reminders, and other official government documents. We scan and forward these documents the same day they arrive.
Delaware allows entities to serve as their own registered agent if they have a physical Delaware address. However, individual business owners may prefer using a professional service to protect privacy, ensure availability during business hours, and maintain a professional image.
File a change form with the Delaware Secretary of State, either online or by mail. The filing fee is $50. Once the change is processed, we'll start receiving documents on your behalf immediately.
Delaware LLCs don't file a traditional annual report. Instead, they pay an annual franchise tax of $300, due June 1 each year. Corporations have different filing and tax requirements. Failure to pay on time results in a $200 penalty plus 1.5% monthly interest.
Delaware LLCs pay a $300 annual franchise tax, due June 1. This is not a traditional annual report filing—it's a tax payment to maintain your LLC in good standing. The Delaware Secretary of State offers expedited processing options for various fees if needed.
We scan and email documents the same day they arrive at our office, then forward the originals to your preferred mailing address. Fast turnaround means you can respond quickly to legal deadlines and compliance matters.

As your Delaware registered agent, we are set up to receive legal documents and official state correspondence. Think service of process, lawsuits, subpoenas, Secretary of State notices, tax communications, and annual report reminders.
If a general letter arrives by mistake, we will forward it — up to 3 times per year as a courtesy.
We do not receive packages. We also decline Google Maps verification postcards, Amazon verification letters, and any other third-party verification mailings. This is a registered agent service, not a virtual office or general mailbox.
That said, we offer virtual mail as an add-on service for businesses that need an address for general correspondence. Let us know if you are interested.
Delaware imposes a $200 penalty plus 1.5% monthly interest for late franchise tax payments. Continued noncompliance can result in administrative dissolution of your entity. We send compliance reminders to help you pay on time and avoid these issues.
We specifically serve businesses registered in Delaware. If your business operates in multiple states, you'll need a registered agent in each state where you're registered.
Delaware is a popular incorporation state due to its well-established business law framework, Court of Chancery, and flexible corporate statutes. Many corporations choose Delaware incorporation even if they operate primarily in other states. If your business is incorporated in Delaware, you'll need a Delaware registered agent regardless of where you conduct business.
