Frequently asked questions

What does a registered agent do?

A registered agent receives official government and legal documents on behalf of your business — including service of process (lawsuits), state compliance notices, and annual report reminders. Every business entity registered in a state must designate a registered agent in that state.

Can I be my own registered agent?

Yes, in most states you can serve as your own registered agent — but it requires you to be physically present at the registered address during all business hours. For growing companies or those with remote teams, a professional registered agent service is far more practical and protects your privacy.

What happens if I miss a document from the registered agent?

Missed legal documents can result in default judgments if it's a lawsuit, or compliance lapses if it's a state notice. SingleFile sends instant alerts so you always know when something has arrived.

Do I need a registered agent in every state where I'm registered?

Yes. Each state where your entity is registered — whether as a domestic or foreign entity — requires a registered agent in that state with a physical address.
