Alabama Registered Agent

We provide a commercial registered office location in Dothan, AL.

Absolutely! We’re the only national registered agent service that allows our clients to list our addresses for everything when you’re doing a filing to keep your private addresses out of 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 do your business registration filing, because you can’t form an LLC or corporation in the Yellowhammer State without a registered agent. You’ll find all the Alabama 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 of a lawsuit.

Regardless of whether you actually receive the documents your Alabama-based registered agent signs for, you’ve been legally notified once the agent accepts them. 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 an Alabama business name search to find a company’s registered agent.

• Type in the company name you are trying to look up.
• Look at the registered agent name and registered office street address.

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

The cost of a registered agent in Alabama depends on the service you use or if you decide to do it yourself. If yo do it yourself, it’s free, although you are putting your private information more at risk by listing it on the public record.

At Northwest, our Alabama registered agent service only costs $125 and always has. There are no hidden or surprise fees, and we’ll never raise the price… ever!
