Connecticut Registered Agent

Yes. Connecticut foreign LLCs, foreign corporations, and foreign nonprofits need registered agents just like domestic businesses in Connecticut. The only difference is that foreign companies must go through the foreign qualification process to do business in Connecticut.

We can be your registered agent both in your business’s home state and Connecticut.

Yes, you can be your own registered agent in Connecticut. With that said, however, after considering the registered agent requirements most business owners elect to hire a registered agent service instead. Why? Well although being your own registered agent will cost you $0, an Connecticut registered agent’s name and address becomes part of the public record. Additionally, the registered agent is required to be available to accept service of process during normal business hours five days a week.

We accept and scan all of our Connecticut clients’s documents on-site at our registered office in Glastonbury, Connecticut.

Absolutely! If you own an LLC or corporation in Connecticut, you’ll need to complete your CT Annual Report. As part of our registered agent service, we’ll not only send you a reminder, but we’ll make sure you have access to all the forms and instructions you need to stay compliant.

Definitely! We’re the only national registered agent service that allows our clients to list our address for everything when you’re doing a filing to keep your private address off public records

We don’t want ALL of your business mail. It’s not what we do. And it wouldn’t serve you well. You wouldn’t have a unique address or suite number. Any mail we receive on your behalf would come to Northwest Registered Agent, care of you.

But we understand that businesses and clients sometimes reach out to you through your registered agent. Through us. That’s why we give you five FREE scans of regular business mail a year. You can request any additional documents to be forwarded at a per document rate of $15.

You should hire us first and then form your Connecticut LLC or corporation because the Connecticut Secretary of State will reject your business registration filing if you don’t list your Connecticut registered agent. You’ll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly after you place an order.

Service on your registered agent is legal proof that you were notified. Regardless of whether you actually receive the documents your Connecticut registered agent signs for, once they accept the documents, you’ve been notified. This is a serious responsibility that we do not take lightly. This is how it works:

• A process server, the county sheriff, or any third party will walk into our office and hand us the documents (service of process), which we sign for.
• The process server then gives an affidavit (a receipt of service) to the court as confirmation that they served us.

Note: If you’ve hired Northwest, you’ve received your documents long before the process server hands in their affidavit to the court—because we scanned them to your online account within minutes of having been served.

You can do a Connecticut business name search to find a company’s registered agent.

• Type in the name of the company you’re searching for.
• In the results, you’ll find the registered agent’s name and registered office street address.

If you want to legally notify a business through their Connecticut registered agent service, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent name and registered office address.

In Connecticut, to resign as a registered agent, you must submit two copies of the Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent and payment for processing by mail, fax or in-person to the Connecticut Secretary of the State’s Commercial Recording Division.
