Some summary facts you should know about a registered agent in Washington:

"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 Washington registered agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under Washington corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Washington or (3) an adult individual who resides in Washington. Because the State of Washington permits "organizations registered by the State to do business in Washington," an LLC may serve as a registered agent.

It is important to note that a Washington registered agent must have a Washington 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 Washington Secretary of State. (Some other states use "resident agent" to stress the statutory importance of a physical address in the state.)

APPOINTING A NEW WASHINGTON 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.
