Here are some facts you should know about a registered agent in The Mountain State:

"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 (and the term agent for service of process) all refer to a Resident of the state acting as an AGENT, we have coined the term "ragent" to include them all).

Your West Virginia registered agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under West Virginia corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in West Virginia or (3) an adult individual who resides in West Virginia.

It is important to note that a West Virginia registered agent must have a West Virginia street address rather than a post office box. This requirement is why many states use the term "resident agent."
