Delaware Registered Agent

Delaware registered agents are required when registering to do business in Delaware.

What is a Delaware Registered Agent?

A Delaware registered agent is a business that is listed on your corporate paperwork with the state as responsible for accepting legal notices on your behalf. Delaware registered agents must have a real physical location in Delaware and be present at that address during normal business hours. Although most of the time a sheriff or process server will be delivering the notice to the Delaware resident agents address, mailing a letter to the person or business listed as the Delaware registered agent at the Delaware registered office address is legal proof that you have been notified, regardless of whether or not you received the notice.

The Delaware registered agents duty is to be available at the business address listed as the DE registered office address during normal business hours. Any mail from the state that has been returned to them will be sent to the Delaware resident agents address.

What types of businesses are required to have Delaware Registered Agents?

A Delaware LLC, out of state LLC, a Delaware corporation, an out of state corporation, a non-profit corporation or organization, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or any other Delaware business entity is required to have a Delaware registered agent and Delaware registered office.
