Frequently Asked Questions
What is a registered agent, and why does my business need one?
A registered agent (also known as statutory agent, agent for service of process, or resident agent) is an individual or company designated to receive legal documents, government notices, and compliance correspondence on behalf of your business. Most U.S. jurisdictions require that every LLC, corporation, or other registered entity designate one. Without a registered agent, your business could miss important deadlines, incur fines, or risk being administratively dissolved.
Can I act as my own registered agent?
Yes — in many states, you (or another responsible individual) may serve as your own registered agent if you maintain a physical street address (not a PO Box) in the state and are available during normal business hours to accept service of process. However, this approach has drawbacks: your address becomes public record, you must reliably be available, and missed notices can have serious consequences. Many businesses prefer a professional service for consistency, privacy, and peace of mind.
What services does Compass Registered Agent provide?
At Compass, we handle:
- Accepting service of process (lawsuits, subpoenas) on your behalf;
- Receiving official correspondence and state notices;
- Scanning and digitally delivering accepted documents (same-day where possible);
- Providing compliance reminders (annual reports, state filings) (Optional);
- Virtual office / mail forwarding services (Optional);
- White-label support for attorneys or CPAs who want to list themselves as RA while we handle backend processing.
How does Compass protect my privacy?
Whenever possible, we use our address on public filings so your personal or business address doesn’t appear in public records. This helps reduce unsolicited mail or contacts. (This is similar to a “Privacy by Default” approach used by other providers.) You retain control over who sees your underlying contact information.
