What Do Pennsylvania Registered Agents Do?

Why do I need a Pennsylvania Registered Agent?
Pennsylvania business proprietors must promptly appoint registered agents upon establishing their corporate entities. This obligation is universal across states, mandating that Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) designate registered agents.
What are the requirements for Pennsylvania registered agents?
-
In accordance with Section 15-109 of the Pennsylvania Code, all legal entities in the state must designate a registered office address, which must be a physical address within Pennsylvania or a rural route box number (P.O. box addresses are not permitted). While it’s possible to use your own address for this purpose, it may not be advisable as it could result in legal documents being served in front of your team or clients.
Hence, many organizations choose to engage commercial registered office providers, specialized businesses that maintain registered offices within the state. These providers can be domestic or foreign legal entities that have filed a statement of address of commercial registered office with the Department of State. When deciding between using your own or another individual’s address or partnering with a commercial provider, reliability and efficiency are key considerations. Commercial providers are often preferred due to their consistent presence at the registered office, ensuring timely receipt of important notices, unlike individuals who may be unavailable due to personal reasons.
