What is a New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire. A New Hampshire business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.

Why are registered agents required for New Hampshire businesses?

Having a registered agent is a requirement for New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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.

The state of New Hampshire requires LLCs and corporations filed in New Hampshire to have a Registered Agent. New Hampshire Registered Agents are a person or company designated on public record to accept legal documents (service of process) and notifications from the New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire, during normal business hours.
Your New Hampshire Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents, annual filing notices, and litigation (service of process) documents. In New Hampshire, InCorp's address is for Registered Agent service only.

New Hampshire registered agent FAQs

How do I order registered agent service?

Ordering service is easy using our online form. Simply fill in the required fields, review the Terms of Service, and submit your order. You'll receive our address immediately and more instructions for filing within 1 business day.

Why do I need a registered agent?

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.

Do you automatically register my entity or change my registered agent when I sign up for InCorp’s Registered Agent service?

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.

Can InCorp serve as a registered agent for agencies other than the Secretary of State?

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.

How do I get InCorp's signature on my documents?

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.

Can an individual use a registered agent?

The general rule is that InCorp only serves as a New Hampshire 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.
