The essentials

What a registered agent does — and why you can't skip it.

A registered agent receives legal documents, government notices, and compliance mail on behalf of your business. Almost every U.S. state requires one for every LLC or corporation.

Without a reliable agent, you risk missed lawsuits, late filings, fines — even administrative dissolution of your company.

Acting as your own agent? Your home address becomes public record, you must be available during all business hours, and one missed notice can cost you the company. Most founders choose a professional service for privacy and peace of mind.

What Compass handles for you

  • Accepts service of process (lawsuits, subpoenas)
  • Receives official state & government notices
  • Scans & delivers documents the same day
  • Tracks annual report & renewal deadlines
  • Keeps your address off public filings
  • White-label support for attorneys & CPAs

Questions

Frequently asked.

A registered agent receives legal documents, government notices, and compliance correspondence for your business. Most states require every LLC or corporation to designate one — without it, you risk missed deadlines, fines, or dissolution.

In many states, yes — if you keep a physical street address (not a PO Box) in the state and are available during business hours. The drawbacks: your address becomes public, you must always be reachable, and a missed notice can have serious consequences.

We accept delivery at our physical address, scan the documents the same day where possible, upload them to your secure portal, and alert you immediately — so you can forward them to your attorney without delay.

Wherever possible, we list our address on public filings so your personal or business address stays out of public records. This cuts down on unsolicited mail and keeps your information private.

Yes. If your entity is registered in several states, we provide a registered agent in each and let you manage them all from one platform — with consistent, transparent pricing.
