a Georgia registered agent can be either a business entity or an individual that agrees to accept service of process and official mail for corporations, LLCs and other entities registered in Georgia. In accordance with state law, a Georgia registered agent must have a physical street location in the state, called a registered office, where certified mail can be reliably delivered during regular business hours. When documents are accepted, it is the duty of a Georgia registered agent to contact the client and forward the document to them in a timely manner. This ensures that state courts, as well as the Corporations Division, can dependably contact a business entity.

Some of Our Testimonials
I was pleased with the service I received from Texas Registered Agent Traub Law Office, P.C. I set up a company 15 years ago, didn't do anything with it, and didn't think about registered agents. The amount of mail I received, and continue to receive at home is one reason I went with Texas Registered Agents. I do not want my home address linked to my company. They are two separate entities. I was able to get that with Texas Registered Agents. The process was quick, and the cost was almost half of what I paid 15 years ago. I also received better service now than I did then. If I set up any more companies it will be through Texas Registered Agents and The Traub Law Office, P.C. They will continue to keep my business as I have been more than pleased with the level of service I have received. Thank you.
Very prompt on sending letters from state. Highly recommend
The Traub Law Office’ provides an excellent ’Registered Agent Service’ and I would recommend their service to anyone forming a business entity in Texas. They are always helpful and furnish a lot of the best information in a timely way regarding your entity when available. The annual rate was also lower than what others charged. Even if that were not the case, after speaking with Andrew Traub by phone I have ever since been very pleased and believe that going with his law firm to serve as my Registered Agent for my LLC as opposed to someone else who may not be an attorney was simply a very good business decision!
Sends out useful information in newsletters, and keeps us up to date on any issues that might be going on in Texas that would effect our business.
Easy to do business with, no problems. Kind of a no brainer.
Andrew Traub and his team serve as an exceptional Registered Agent through performing highly skilled and efficient duties on behalf of their clients.
