What Is a Registered Agent?

Depending on which state you operate your business in, you will be required to have a registered agent, a resident agent, or a statutory agent. A Kentucky registered agent will receive official legal notices from the state of Kentucky on behalf of your business or service of process communications (SOP) if your business should have legal action taken against it from a third party. Despite the differences in names, all of these titles perform the same function. All businesses that are recognized by the state as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent perform these functions on behalf of the business. Your Kentucky registered agent will be listed inside your business's articles of incorporation/organization. Having a registered agent is an essential component of responsibly operating a business that is in compliance with Kentucky law.

What Function Does a Registered Agent Perform Within Your Business?

Having a Kentucky registered agent is a requirement every time you register a new corporation or LLC with the state of Kentucky. You must select a reliable company to act as your registered agent. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can have negative effects on the legal status of your company within the state and result in extra, unnecessary expenses. The person or entity must be located and available at a physical street address within the state of Kentucky during normal business hours. A mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you as your registered agent.

How Registered Agent Service Can Help Your Business

  • Legal Notifications

    A Kentucky registered agent will receive important legal notifications at an official address on behalf of your business. Important documents, such as your annual filing notices, SOP (service of process), etc., will be handled responsibly and in compliance with the law by your registered agent. In addition, by using a registered agent with an official address within Kentucky, you will avoid the risks of losing or misplacing your mail, commonly associated with having it sent to a home or business address.

  • Flexibility

    A registered agent allows flexibility in how you operate your business. By hiring a Kentucky registered agent, you will not need a physical business location or be present during standard business hours to receive official legal notifications as required by law. Instead, your registered agent will perform these services for you by using an official address within Kentucky where legal notices can be received during standard business hours, keeping you legally compliant. For example, suppose you have a physical business location and want to move. In that case, you will not need to update this information with the state, as your registered agent can continue receiving official mail on your behalf.

Having a registered agent is required in almost every state. The purpose is for the state to show a physical address in that state at which the company can be served with legal documents. We also receive notifications from many states and help you keep your company in good standing. An added benefit is the security of knowing InCorp is here to fulfill this requirement and provide you with a little more privacy.

When hiring InCorp as your commercial registered agent, we do not automatically file your documents to register your entity with the state. Formation and qualification filings are separate services, and we will be happy to prepare the entire filing for you once the additional service has been purchased. Our order processing team members will automatically provide consent forms for the states that require them, and we're here to help with Registered Agent Change forms at no additional charge if you'd like our assistance.

In most cases, yes, but we do require that you also be filed with the Secretary of State. Some agencies have requirements that we can't meet, like an address in a specific county or an individual serving instead of InCorp as a company. If you send over the document we'll review it to make sure we can meet the requirements.

The first thing is to order service. Once your order is placed and you have received the confirmation email, please contact our order processing team to proceed. Some states require our signature but it does not have to be a mailed original so you can just reply to your order confirmation with the document attached and we'll sign and return it to you. Other states require our original signature, in which case you can email us the document, we will sign it and mail it to you for submission to the state. Alternatively, you can mail us the complete package of documents and state payment and we will sign and forward the package to the state for you. A few states, like Wyoming, require a separate Registered Agent Consent form. We'll send that directly to you after your order is placed. Please call our order processing team or email us with any additional questions or concerns.

The general rule is that InCorp only serves as an Kentucky registered agent for entities registered with the Secretary of State. We can serve for other agencies as well but need to be listed with the Secretary of State, also. When looking for a registered agent for an individual, we recommend using an attorney or law office.
