What happens if I stop using a Registered Agent service?
Every LLC is required to have a Registered Agent. A Registered Agent acts as the official point of contact for receiving legal documents, state notices, and other important correspondence on behalf of the business.
If your service ends, you must:
Appoint a new Registered Agent
Update this with the state. You can file the amendment through the Business Compliance section of your Business Portal or directly with your LLC’s formation state.
What if I don’t update it?
If no Registered Agent is on file, it may lead to:
Missed legal documents
Loss of good standing
Potential penalties, such as fines or dissolution of your business by the state.
What happens during your current term?
Your Registered Agent service will:
Remain active through the end of your billing period
Continue receiving and storing documents in your Business Portal
