Questions
Registered-agent FAQ
What does registered-agent service include?
Your purchase includes 12 months of registered-agent service to receive qualifying legal and government notices and forward them through the service. Company formation, annual-report filing, and legal advice are not included.
Does this keep every business address private?
The service supplies an address for your business's registered-agent listing. Other addresses required in state filings may still be public. Registered-agent service is not a general business-mail or virtual-office service.
Can I buy an agent before I form my business?
Yes. Choose the forming-business option. After payment, use the agent name and address we provide in the formation filing you submit. The $99 purchase covers registered-agent service; company formation and its filing fees are separate. No change-of-agent fee applies to this option.
Who files the change when I switch agents?
CivicNest prepares and submits the change-of-agent filing for your existing business. Any applicable state filing fee is shown before payment and passed through at cost. We contact you if more information is needed and email you when the state accepts the appointment.
What will I pay now and at renewal?
Your first year of registered-agent service costs $99. If you are switching an existing business, add the applicable state filing fee shown before payment. Service renews annually at the then-current price until cancelled; the first-year price is not a fixed renewal price.
