What is a Registered Agent a.k.a. Resident Agent or Statutory Agent?

Businesses registered as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, a resident agent, or a statutory agent. Depending on which state you operate your business, the role may go by a different name, but the function is the same. A registered agent is an individual or a state-qualified corporate agent responsible for receiving important legal notices from the state on behalf of your business. They are also responsible for receiving service of process (SOP) notifications should your business have a lawsuit brought against it. Having a registered agent protects you from missing important legal documents from the state of Alabama or service of process communications. Your Alabama registered agent will be identified within your business's articles of incorporation/organization, which will keep you compliant with Alabama's legal requirements regarding your business.

Why Do You Need a Registered Agent, Resident Agent or Statutory Agent to Represent Your Alabama Business?

Having a registered agent is a requirement every time you register a new Corporation or LLC in the state of Alabama. You must select a reliable company to act as your Alabama registered agent. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can have negative effects on the legal status of your company within the state and result in extra, unnecessary expenses. The person or entity must be located and available at a physical street address within the state of Alabama during normal business hours. A mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you as your registered agent.

How Registered Agent Service Can Help Your Business

  • Legal Notifications

    An Alabama registered agent receives legal notifications, on your behalf, at an official address within the state. These can include your annual filing notices and other important documents such as SOP (service of process) if your company may be involved in legal action with another party. Registered agents handle these legal notifications correctly and in compliance with the law and all legal procedures. As opposed to having these documents mailed to your home or business address, having an Alabama registered agent and an official address where legal notifications are sent avoids many risks, such as having these important notices misplaced or lost.

  • Flexibility

    Having an Alabama registered agent grants you and your business a high degree of flexibility. Maintaining a physical business location or being present during standard business hours to receive official legal notifications is unnecessary. With a registered agent, you will be compliant with the law and always be available during standard business hours. You can receive all of your official legal notifications without being there yourself or having an actual physical business location. If you have a physical business location and decide to move or change your location, you will not need to update your information with the state of Alabama with a registered agent.

  • Privacy

    Having a registered agent will help protect your home address's privacy. If you use your home address to receive legal notifications officially, it will be listed in public directories. By having an Alabama registered agent, you will be provided with an official address to receive legal notifications, therefore protecting the privacy of your personal address.

Having a registered agent is required in almost every state. The purpose is for the state to show a physical address in that state at which the company can be served with legal documents. We also receive notifications from many states and help you keep your company in good standing. An added benefit is the security of knowing InCorp is here to fulfill this requirement and provide you with a little more privacy.

When hiring InCorp as your commercial registered agent, we do not automatically file your documents to register your entity with the state. Formation and qualification filings are separate services, and we will be happy to prepare the entire filing for you once the additional service has been purchased. Our order processing team members will automatically provide consent forms for the states that require them, and we're here to help with Registered Agent Change forms at no additional charge if you'd like our assistance.

In most cases, yes, but we do require that you also be filed with the Secretary of State. Some agencies have requirements that we can't meet, like an address in a specific county or an individual serving instead of InCorp as a company. If you send over the document we'll review it to make sure we can meet the requirements.

The first thing is to order service. Once your order is placed and you have received the confirmation email, please contact our order processing team to proceed. Some states require our signature but it does not have to be a mailed original so you can just reply to your order confirmation with the document attached and we'll sign and return it to you. Other states require our original signature, in which case you can email us the document, we will sign it and mail it to you for submission to the state. Alternatively, you can mail us the complete package of documents and state payment and we will sign and forward the package to the state for you. A few states, like Wyoming, require a separate Registered Agent Consent form. We'll send that directly to you after your order is placed. Please call our order processing team or email us with any additional questions or concerns.

The general rule is that InCorp only serves as an Alabama registered agent for entities registered with the Secretary of State. We can serve for other agencies as well but need to be listed with the Secretary of State, also. When looking for a registered agent for an individual, we recommend using an attorney or law office.
