Choose your Registered Agent

It’s a legal requirement in every state to appoint a registered agent.

NOTE: In nearly all cases, nonprofit founders serve as their OWN registered agent, which costs nothing.

What you need to know:

This provides an official physical address where someone may receive legal and official documents from the government.

If you need to add a registered agent service due to not having a physical address in the state where you are forming, we can provide one.

I will need a registered agent service (a customer support agent will reach out to you).
