Some facts you should know about an agent for service of process in California:

"registered agent," "statutory agent" and "resident agent" are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer to a Resident of the state acting as an AGENT, we have coined the term "ragent" to include them all).

Your California registered agent (agent for service of process) must be either (1) a domestic company formed under California corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in California or (3) an adult individual who resides in California. Because neither an LLC (limited liability company) formed under California law nor a foreign LLC is specifically mentioned as eligible to be a registered agent, an inquiry to the California Secretary of State's office is recommended if your agent is a limited liability company..

It is important to note that a California registered agent (agent for service of process) must have a California street address rather than a post office boxx.
