What Is a 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.
According to Nevada law (NRS 86.231 for LLCs and NRS 78.090 for corporations), registered agents are legally required in Nevada. At a minimum, your registered agent must <strong>list a physical address on the public record and be present at that address during business hours. </strong>But ideally, your registered agent should do more.
There’s several reasons to hire a professional registered agent:
- If your business is web-based or doesn’t have a physical presence within Nevada, the business still needs a registered agent located inside state lines.
- Some Nevada business owners hire registered agent services because their business doesn’t keep regular business hours in which service of process or official mail can be delivered.
- Privacy. Many business owners don’t want their home or business address listed on public record as a point of contact, so they hire a registered agent.
- Avoiding distractions. Listing an employee or family member as your registered agent could be a huge mistake, as that may be the last person you want knowing the intimate details of lawsuits your business might become entangled in. Worse, just having a process server hand them a document is proof that you got it, regardless of whether they actually get it to you in a timely manner. You could miss a court deadline before realizing it.
- If you don’t want the added responsibility of tracking mail and notices from the Nevada Secretary of State, you can hire a registered agent to track the important paperwork for you. Having an online account to help maintain your business is often worth the nominal registered agent fee.
You should hire us first and then form your Nevada LLC or corporation because the state will reject your business registration filing if you don’t list your registered agent. You’ll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly after you place an order.
A process server will deliver instructions for responding to the lawsuit to your registered agent’s Nevada address. Your registered agent signs any of process server’s documents acknowledging receipt of the lawsuit.
If you’ve hired us, within minutes of receiving service of process, we’ll upload the document to your account. You’ll instantly receive an email prompting you to log into your account and securely view your document.
First, if you never get sued, congratulations! But don’t think of fees paid for a registered agent service as wasted money. Your registered agent should also keep you updated on any business reports owed to Nevada.
And if you hire Northwest Registered Agent, we’ll provide you with any form you could file in Nevada, along with helpful tips for filing forms and paying the state with no markup, as well as amazing customer service. If you end up hiring us for multiple states, you’ll be able to easily see your annual report dates in every state in your account.
Northwest Registered Agent doesn’t charge more for high volume clients. If you know you’re going to get served hundreds of times a year, we should create a custom price for you that makes sense to both parties. Our typical clients get fewer than 15 lawsuits a year and never pay additional fees.
Change Your Nevada Registered Agent
Changing your registered agent is a straightforward process:
- You’ll file a change of agent form with the Nevada Secretary of State.
- If you place an order with us, the form will be available instantly. We’ll even pay and file the change of agent filing for you.
- It’s a simple change, but for more info, see our guide on how to change your registered agent in Nevada.
Yes, you can be your own registered agent in Nevada. 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, a registered agent’s name and Nevada 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.
You can do a Nevada business name search.
- 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 registered agent service, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent name and registered office address.
In Nevada, to resign as a registered agent, you need to submit a Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Commercial Recordings Division. For a more detailed walkthrough, you can refer to our guide on how to resign as a registered agent in Nevada.
