online or call us at 1-800-669-9805 for further information. We

You've probably learned that you can pay up to
$300 or more for a registered agent. You can, however, expect our
Hawaii registered agent to deliver quality service at a reasonable
price of $99 per year. If you are already paying more or benefiting
less, you can still obey Hawaii
laws requiring an agent without overpaying or sacrificing quality
and dependability.
began in the work of a corporate lawyer with many years experience
managing his own business as a registered agent, statutory agent,
and resident agent service. The same dependable agent services are
now provided from Alaska to Florida, from Maine to California including
DC. We offer trademarks and service marks plus other corporate services.
We can assist you in setting up an extra-provincial corporation in
Canada as well.
Here's
the gist of what you need to know about a registered agent in Hawaii:
"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). Folding "statutory agent" into the acronym requires
too many syllables. Just know that the two states which use this term
are merely emphasizing the lawfulness of the requirement. We' re still
talking about a rose with other names.
Your Hawaii registered
agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under Hawaii corporate
law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Hawaii
or (3) an adult individual who resides in Hawaii.
It is important
to note that a Hawaii registered agent must have a Hawaii street
address rather than a post office box.
APPOINTING
A NEW HAWAII REGISTERED AGENT
We welcome beginning
companies, as well as companies previously formed who presently have
an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality
and dependability seem dubious. We can handle companies wishing to
setup in multiple states. If you're talking about 51 registered offices,
there's a big difference between $5049 and $10,200. The difference
is better spent on your state qualifying fees.
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 Hawaii, you
may do so whenever you choose by completing a change of agent form
and submitting it to the Hawaii Secretary of State.
When you order
online, we complete the form and send it to you for signature.
After you sign and return the form to us we will file it and also
pay the change fee to the Hawaii Secretary of State.
Another choice
has you signing the form first and send it to us so that we may complete
it and file it with the Hawaii Secretary of State, along with the
filing fee. The change of Hawaii registered agent form can be found
at
https://lala.ehawaii.gov/lala/account/new.lala?returnUri=https://hbe.ehawaii.gov/BizEx&returnName=Business%20Express.
You will have to
setup an account. When you have the form, just sign it and get it
to us and we will take care of the rest.
Don't forget, 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.
