Registered agent service, run by a law firm.

A firm-managed registered-agent service in every state where you operate, fulfilled through our national registered-office network. The in-state agent is named on the public record, and every document it receives is handled by the firm. The request takes about five minutes, and a partner confirms it before anything is filed or charged.

This module is in preview. A partner confirms each request, and nothing is filed or charged until checkout is live.

What $149 buys

The stack

One flat price of $149 per state, per year, with no processing fees or renewal markups. During the preview nothing is charged, and a partner confirms your request first.
  • Lawsuit papers, handled by a firm. Service of process is received at the in-state registered office of our fulfillment network, scanned, and forwarded to you usually within hours. If you want a Hart David Carson attorney to look at what arrived, ask through the contact desk. We run a conflicts check and confirm scope and fee before any review begins.
  • Every state notice, same-day scanned into a live dashboard mailbox, with an alert the moment it arrives.
  • All fifty states, one dashboard. Appoint us where you form, and add states as you expand, each at the same flat $149.
  • Privacy, if you want it. Choose the privacy option and our address goes on the public record instead of your home address.
  • Compliance Calendar, optional at $99/yr. We watch your annual-report and franchise-tax deadlines and flag anything before it is late.

A missed service of process can become a default judgment entered before you knew you were sued, and a missed annual report can dissolve a company administratively. A full year of coverage costs less than one hour of litigation counsel.

How it works

Five minutes from start to request

  1. Tell us who you are. Company, the states you need, and where alerts should go.
  2. Pick your add-ons. Compliance Calendar, privacy address, or neither.
  3. We confirm, appoint and provision. A partner confirms your request, the appointment is filed, and your dashboard mailbox goes live. Every document we receive for you lands in it, scanned, the same day.

Questions

Registered agent, answered

What does a registered agent actually do? +
Every U.S. company must name a registered agent in each state where it is formed or registered. The agent is a person or firm at a physical in-state address, available during business hours, to receive service of process and official state mail. If a lawsuit or state notice arrives, your registered agent receives it and gets it to you.
Why use a law firm instead of a national chain? +
When a process server shows up, what matters is what happens in the next few hours. With Hart David Carson managing the service, legal papers are received at the in-state registered office of our fulfillment network, then scanned and forwarded, usually within hours. If you ask, a Hart David Carson attorney can review what arrived, after a conflicts check and a confirmed scope and fee. A mail room forwards an envelope. A firm knows what to do with what is inside it.
Which states do you cover? +
All fifty states, through the firm's national registered-office network: a locally licensed registered office in each state receives service on the company's behalf and the firm manages, reviews, and forwards everything it receives. One dashboard, one flat price per state.
What does it cost? +
A flat $149 per state, per year. The optional Compliance Calendar is $99 per year and watches your annual-report and franchise-tax deadlines, flagging anything before it is late. No processing fees, no renewal markups.
Can I use your address for privacy? +
Yes. Where you choose the privacy option, our address appears on the public record instead of yours, which suits home-based founders who would rather not publish where they live.
Is this legal advice? +
No. Registered-agent service is an administrative service, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. If something we receive needs a lawyer, you will know where to find one. Engagement on any matter is separate and starts with a conflicts check.

Registered-agent service is an administrative service managed by Hart David Carson LLP and is not legal advice; it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Fulfillment runs on the firm's national registered-office network, whose locally licensed registered office is the agent named on each state's public record. See the firm's Terms and Privacy Policy.
