E-mail our Iowa resident agent (sometimes called a registered agent),
order online
or call us at 1-800-669-9805 for further information. We can arrange
for you to start service immediately or we can make it begin when
your current registered agent's term expires.
Whatever you choose to do our Iowa registered
agent will provide quality service at a reasonable price of $99 per
year. Are you currently paying more? Are you receiving less service
than you expected?
You can meet the demands of Iowa
laws which require an agent and a registered office and you can
do so without paying too much for quality
and dependability.
was founded a number of years ago by an experienced corporate lawyer
and statutory agent (sometimes called a registered or resident agent).
The organization has matured into a network of practicing lawyers
in all the continental United States plus Hawaii, Alaska and DC. We
provide trustworthy registered agent, statutory agent, and resident
agent service everywhere; plus other corporate and legal services,
e.g. trademarks and service marks. If you need an agent in Puerto
Rico, we'll get to task.
There
are some summary facts you should know about a registered agent in
Iowa:
"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 Iowa registered
agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under Iowa corporate law
(2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Iowa
or (3) an adult individual who resides in Iowa. We don't recommend
an amateur volunteer.
It is critical
to note that an Iowa registered agent must have an Iowa street
address. A post office box alone will not do.
APPOINTING
A NEW IOWA REGISTERED AGENT
We bid business
startups, as well as companies previously formed, to join us. If you
presently have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent
whose quality and dependability may be open to question, we can help
you change agents.
If you're creating
new company yourself (or qualifying your company as a foreign business
outside your state yourself) and are interested in our registered
agent services, please 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 and want to change registered agents in Iowa (or anywhere),
you may do so at any time by completing a change of Iowa registered
agent or registered office form and submitting it to the Iowa Secretary
of State.
When you order
online, we administer completion of the form and sending it to
you for signature. When you have returned to us the signed form, we
then file it with the Iowa Secretary of State who will make the change
according to workload. As it happens The Hawkeye State charges no
fee.
If you would prefer
to sign the form first and send it to us so that we may complete it
and file it with the Iowa Secretary of State, the change of Iowa registered
agent form can be found at http://www.sos.state.ia.us/pdfs/buspdfs/static/635_0119.pdf
Just sign it and
get it to us and we will take care of the rest.
Recall that 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.
