What is a Georgia registered agent?
Businesses that register as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, resident agent, or statutory agent. A Georgia registered agent is the designated recipient of service of process (SOP) when a business entity faces legal action, and receives official legal documents from the state regarding the company's operation within Georgia. A Georgia business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.
Why are registered agents required for Georgia businesses?
Having a registered agent is a requirement for Georgia corporations and LLCs, and the same requirement generally extends to limited partnerships, LLPs, LLLPs, nonprofit corporations, professional entities, and other businesses formed or registered by filing with the state. The agent must be located and available at a physical street address within Georgia during normal business hours — a mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can jeopardize your company's legal status in the state and lead to unnecessary expense.

Appointing InCorp as your Georgia registered agent
- Georgia does not require original signatures.
- Online filings are available for formations, qualifications and reports.
- Georgia's normal filing time for mailed documents is about 2 weeks and regular online filings take about 3-5 days. Expedited service is available for $100, and expedited filings are completed the same day.
- The Georgia Registered Agent change filing fee is $20 (Ga. Code § 14-2-122(11)); Georgia's annual registration carries its own separate fee.
- The state of Georgia requires LLCs and corporations filed in Georgia to have a Registered Agent. Georgia Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the Georgia Secretary of State's office on behalf of the corporate entity. There are few restrictions regarding who can be listed as a Registered Agent, the most important being that the Registered Agent must be located and available at a physical street address, within the state of Georgia, during normal business hours.
- Your Georgia Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents and litigation (service of process) documents. In Georgia, InCorp's address is for Registered Agent service only.
The law behind it
Georgia's registered-agent framework, quoted directly from the state code.
O.C.G.A. § 14-2-501 Georgia Business Corporation Code — Corporations
“Each corporation must continuously maintain in this state: (1) A registered office that may be the same as any of its places of business; and (2) A registered agent, who may be: (A) A person who resides in this state and whose business office is identical with the registered office; (B) A domestic corporation, nonprofit domestic corporation, or domestic limited liability company whose business office is identical with the registered office; or (C) A foreign corporation, nonprofit foreign corporation, or foreign limited liability company authorized to transact business in this state whose business office is identical with the registered office.”
O.C.G.A. § 14-11-209 Georgia Limited Liability Company Act — LLCs
“(a) Each limited liability company shall continuously maintain in this state: (1) A registered office which may, but need not, be a place of its business in this state; and (2) A registered agent for service of process on the limited liability company. The address of the business office of the registered agent shall be the same as the address of the registered office referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection. (b) A registered agent must be an individual resident of this state, a corporation, another limited liability company, or a foreign corporation or a foreign limited liability company having a certificate of authority to transact business in this state.”
