Home/Business Formation & Registration/Registered Agent Services
Somebody Reliable At The Address
A dependable point of contact for service of process and state correspondence, so nothing important is missed.
What A Registered Agent Does
Every Alabama entity must maintain a registered agent with a physical in-state address available during business hours. The agent receives service of process, notices from the Secretary of State, and other official correspondence, and is responsible for getting them to you.
- A physical Alabama address on the public record
- Availability during standard business hours
- Service of process accepted and forwarded promptly
- State notices, including annual filing reminders, passed on
- The agent designation kept current with the state
Why Owners Stop Being Their Own Agent
- The registered address is a home address and it is public record
- The business moved and the state was never updated
- Nobody is at the address during the day
- A lawsuit was served and the notice was missed
- The owner travels and mail piles up
A missed service of process is the serious one. A default judgment entered because nobody responded is difficult and expensive to unwind.
How It Works Here
Documents received are scanned and sent the day they arrive, and anything time-sensitive is flagged rather than forwarded quietly. Because the annual filing reminders come to the same place, the entity filing and the agent service tend to be handled together.

Questions People Ask About Registered Agent Services
Can I be my own registered agent?
Yes, provided you maintain a physical Alabama address and are available during business hours. The trade-offs are that your address is public and that being away when something is served is your problem.
Can the registered agent address be a PO box?
No. A physical street address is required, which is one of the main reasons home-based businesses use an outside agent.
How do I change my registered agent?
A change is filed with the Secretary of State. It is straightforward, and it is worth doing promptly, because the state sends notices to whatever address is on record.
