Choosing a Delaware Registered Agent

As a Delaware business lawyer, I'm often asked whether you need an attorney to form a Delaware corporation or a Delaware limited liability company (LLC). A related question is whether your registered agent should be an attorney.

First, let's start with the fact that every Delaware corporation or Delaware LLC must have a Delaware registered agent. To learn why, and to see what a registered agent does, take a look at my article entitled "Every Delaware Corporation Must Have A Registered Agent."

I'm the first to admit that it's not easy searching the internet for a registered agent in Delaware. Talk about a ton of information. But if you're looking for a registered agent who can offer legal services if and when you need them, then you've come to the right place. In my next artice, I'll talk about the services I provide. In the meantime, feel free to check out my website.

Delaware Corporations - Registered Agent - Delaware Attorney

If you want to become incorporated in Delaware, you’re not required to have a place of business that’s physically located here. In fact, you’re not even required to do business in Delaware. Instead, what’s required is that you have and maintain what’s called a “registered office” located in the State of Delaware. In addition, the corporation must have a Delaware registered agent who's located at the registered office.

Choosing a Delaware business attorney to act as your Delaware registered agent gives you immediate access to an attorney in Delaware if you should need one.

A Delaware corporation is required to provide to its registered agent the name, business address, and business telephone number of a natural person who is an officer, director, employee, or designated agent of the corporation, who is then authorized to receive communications from the registered agent. Such person is considered the communications contact for the corporation.

The registered agent’s main responsibilities are: (1) to accept service of process and other communications directed to the corporation and forward it to the corporation; (2) to forward to the corporation the annual report required by Delaware law; (3) to be present at the registered office during normal business hours; and (4) to retain (in paper or electronic form) the information concerning the current communications contact for each corporation for which he serves as a registered agent.
