We provide quality registered/statutory/resident agent service in all of the United States.

Some facts you should know about a registered agent in Illinois:

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

It is important to note that the registered agent must have an Illinois street address rather than a post office box and that the registered agent must sign a consent to be registered agent and file it with the Illinois Secretary of State.

APPOINTING A NEW ILLINOIS 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.)
