What Is a Registered Agent?

Businesses that register as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, a resident agent, or a statutory agent. Depending on what state you operate your business out of, the role may go by a different name, but they all perform the same basic needs for your business. A Louisiana registered agent is an individual or legal entity that is the designated recipient of service of process (SOP) when a business entity faces legal action from another party. They are also responsible for receiving official legal documents on behalf of the business from the state regarding the company's operation within Louisiana. Businesses must identify their Louisiana registered agent in their articles of incorporation/organization.

Why Do Businesses Need a Registered Agent, and What Do They Do?

Identifying a registered agent is a requirement every time a new Louisiana Corporation or LLC is registered with the state. You must select a reliable company to act as your Louisiana 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 Louisiana 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

    Your Louisiana registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal notifications, such as annual filing notices, SOP (service of process), etc., at an officially designated address within the state. This can help you avoid the risk of losing or misplacing your important mail, which is associated with receiving it at a home or business address. In addition, by using a Louisiana registered agent, you can be assured your official mail will be received and handled correctly and responsibly and complies with the law and any associated legal procedures regarding the documents.

  • Flexibility

    When you hire a registered agent, maintaining a physical business location and having someone always present during standard business hours to receive legal notices is not required. You will be in compliance with the law, as your Louisiana registered agent will provide these services for your business through an official address where legal notices are sent. This creates a lot of flexibility for you in how you decide to operate your Louisiana business. If you change your business address, you will not be required to update this information with the state to be compliant and continue receiving official legal notices.

  • Privacy

    A registered agent can help you protect the privacy of your home address. If you use your home address to receive legal notices, it will be listed inside public directories. By hiring a Louisiana registered agent, an official address within the state will be provided to you to receive all of your official mail. By having this official address, you will be able to keep your home address private.

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 a Louisiana 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.
