What is a Delaware Registered Agent?
If you incorporate your business in the state of Delaware, you need a Delaware Registered Agent. In Delaware, the Delaware Registered Agent is the intermediary between your company and the Delaware Division of Corporations. Delaware wrote this into their corporate law so they have a physical address (not a post office box) in Delaware to contact your company, through the Delaware Registered Agent, during normal business hours. The Delaware Registered Agent accepts documents such as legal action notices, annual report notices, void notices, franchise tax reports, and late notices.
The Delaware Registered Agent:
- Needs to be present at a registered office, located in Delaware, during normal business hours to accept legal notices.
- Accepts communications from the state, for your Delaware Corporation or LLC, and forward to the appointed contact person.
- Keeps a record of the name, address, and phone number of the appointed contact person for your Delaware Corporation or LLC.
Change Your Delaware Registered Agent
Once you have the services of a new Delaware Registered Agent, you need to file a Change of Agent Form File the form with the Delaware Division of Corporations. If you need a Delaware Registered Agent, Agents of Delaware, Inc. can help. Delaware corporations need to file an annual franchise tax report. The annual franchise tax report includes the names and address of all the corporation’s directors on the report’s filing date. Also included is the name and address of the officer who signs the report.
The Delaware State filing fee for a Delaware Registered Agent change for both an LLC and a Corporation is $50.00.
