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

Pennsylvania's registered office requirement

Pennsylvania law requires every corporation and LLC to continuously maintain a registered office in the Commonwealth (15 Pa.C.S. § 1507, § 8825) - and permits using a Commercial Registered Office Provider (CROP) in lieu of a street address (§ 109). InCorp serves as a CROP, satisfying the registered office requirement while receiving service of process and official mail on your behalf.

Pennsylvania requires every corporation and LLC to maintain a registered office in the Commonwealth (15 Pa.C.S. § 1507, § 8825). Instead of listing a street address, entities may designate a Commercial Registered Office Provider (CROP) under § 109 - the role InCorp fills. Filings are made with the Pennsylvania Department of State.
Your Pennsylvania Registered Agent will be responsible, on your behalf, to receive all government notifications sent to Registered Agents and litigation (service of process) documents. Pennsylvania sends annual report notices to the entity directly.

Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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.
