What is a CO Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or company that you designate to receive legal mail (like service of process) on behalf of your business. Registered agents exist to provide an official and reliable way to contact your business.
If your business is ever served with a lawsuit, the process server will deliver the paperwork directly to your registered agent. At that point, your business is legally considered served. The registered agent should then forward you your mail, quickly and securely.
Legal Requirements
Residency
Your registered agent must be a Colorado resident 18 years or older or a company that provides registered agent services.
Street Address
Your registered agent must maintain an office at a street address in Colorado (no P.O. Boxes or virtual offices).
Service
The registered agent must accept legal documents (service of process) during normal business hours.
