Here
are some facts you should know about a registered office in Pennsylvania:
"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). Unfortunately as yet we haven't been clever enough to work "statutory"
into our universal acronym.
Your Pennsylvania
"ragent" must be either (1) a domestic company formed under
Pennsylvania corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to
transact business in Pennsylvania or (3) an adult individual who resides
in Pennsylvania in a registered office.
It is important
to note that a Pennsylvania registered office must have a Pennsylvania
street address rather than a post office box. This is the precise
meaning of a "resident" agent.
APPOINTING
A NEW PENNSYLVANIA REGISTERED OFFICE
We welcome startups
as well as developing companies who presently have an overpriced resident
agent, or a registered agent whose quality and dependability may be
falling beneath expectations.
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 Pennsylvania,
you may do so at any time by completing a change of Pennsylvania registered

Commonwealth, Department of State.
When you order
online, we complete this form and send it to you for signature.
After you return a signed form to us, we will take care of filing
this form with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Corporations to make the
change.
Alternatively,
you may sign the form first and send it to us for completion and forwarding
to the Pennsylvania Department of State. The change of Pennsylvania
registered office form can be found at http://www.dos.state.pa.us/corps/lib/corps/20/7/1507-4144.pdf.

If your present
agent is prepaid for a period of time, you can instruct us not to
