E-mail our Delaware resident agent (registered agent), order
online or call us at 1-800-669-9805. We will give you further
information and/or begin your service. This service can commence immediately
or occur when your current registered agent comes up for renewal.
Our Delaware registered agent will provide quality
service at a reasonable price: $99 per year. If you are paying more
or getting less, say two to three times as much, you can meet the
demands of Delaware laws
which require an agent and a registered office; and you will not be
overpaying or sacrificing quality
and dependability.
,
founded by a veteran corporate lawyer and now a network of practicing
lawyers in the various states, provides dependable registered agent,
statutory agent, and resident agent service everywhere, plus other
corporate and legal services. Among them are trademarks and extra-provincial
arrangements in Canada.
Some
facts you should know about a registered agent in Delaware:
"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 Delaware registered
agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under Delaware corporate
law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Delaware
or (3) an adult individual who resides in Delaware. Delaware does
permit a limited liability company, whether formed in Delaware or
qualified to do business in Delaware, to act as a registered agent
in Delaware.
It is important
to note that a Delaware registered agent must have a Delaware street
address rather than a post office box. States using the term resident
agent stress this very point.
APPOINTING
A NEW DELAWARE REGISTERED AGENT
We welcome newly
formed companies, as well as companies previously formed who presently
have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality
and dependability may be open to question.
If you are forming
a new company yourself (or qualifying your company to do business
in a new state yourself) and are interested in our registered agent
services, just check the first box when you order
online. (If you want legal assistance in the formation or qualification
process, you may want to contact 4inc.com,
which is also affiliated with the Inc.Link®
network of corporate professionals.)
If you are an existing
company which desires to change its registered agent in Delaware,
you may do so at any time by completing a change of Delaware registered
agent form and submitting it to the Delaware Secretary of State.
When you order
online, we complete the form for you and send it to you for signature.
Upon its return (signed) to us we file the form. We allow a week to
ten days for the State to finish the process. In most states your
information will be posted on their web sites before you receive a
written confirmation. When that happens you're good to go unless some
other gatekeeper like a bank requires paper.
If you would prefer
you can sign the form first and send it to us so that we may complete
and file it with the Delaware Secretary of State. The change of Delaware
registered agent form for a corporation can be found at http://corp.delaware.gov/corp-coa09.pdf;
and for an LLC at http://corp.delaware.gov/LLCcoaAmend.pdf
Just sign it and
send it to us with the change fee (we pay the first $50) and we will
take care of the rest.
If your present
agent is prepaid for a period of time, you can instruct us not to
make the change until that period of time has expired.
