Frequently Asked Questions

What is a registered agent?

A registered agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your Georgia business. They serve as the official contact point for the Georgia Secretary of State and the courts.

Why does my Georgia business need a registered agent?

Georgia law requires all registered business entities—including LLCs, corporations, and limited partnerships—to maintain a registered agent. This ensures the state and courts have a consistent, reliable method to deliver important legal notices and documents to your business.

Who can serve as a registered agent in Georgia?

Individuals must be Georgia residents. For business entities, only domestic or foreign corporations can serve as registered agents—LLCs cannot serve in this capacity. The entity itself cannot serve as its own registered agent.

What documents will I receive through my registered agent?

You will receive service of process (such as lawsuits and legal claims), correspondence from the Georgia Secretary of State, annual registration reminders, tax notices, and other official government documents. We scan and forward all documents the same day they arrive.

Can I be my own registered agent in Georgia?

Georgia does not allow businesses to self-appoint as their own registered agent. An individual who is a Georgia resident can serve as the registered agent, but many business owners prefer using a professional service to maintain privacy and ensure consistent availability.

How do I change my registered agent to Georgia Registered Agent?

File a change form with the Georgia Secretary of State, either through their online system or by mail. The filing fee is $30 for an amended registration. Once the change is processed, we will begin receiving documents on your behalf immediately.

What is Georgia's annual registration requirement?

Georgia requires most business entities to file an annual registration with the Secretary of State. The filing fee is $50, plus a $10 service fee for online filing, totaling $60. The registration is due between January 1 and April 1 each year.

When is Georgia's annual registration due?

Annual registrations are due between January 1 and April 1 each year. You have a three-month window to complete your filing. Missing this deadline can result in penalties and potential administrative dissolution.

How quickly do you forward documents?

We scan and email documents the same day they arrive at our office, then forward the originals to your designated mailing address. This systematic approach ensures you can respond promptly to legal deadlines and compliance matters.

Where can I access information about Georgia business filings?

The Georgia Secretary of State maintains an online portal at sos.ga.gov where you can search for business entities, file documents, and access information about state requirements.

Why is Georgia Registered Agent only $99 per year?

We focus on providing professional service efficiently. By maintaining systematic operations and transparent pricing, we can offer comprehensive registered agent service for less than the $125 to $436 that many competitors charge.

What's included in the $99 annual fee?

Everything: a registered office address in Georgia, same-day document scanning and forwarding, compliance reminders and alerts, online document portal access, and privacy protection. No hidden fees, no per-document charges.

What are Georgia's specific business hours requirements for registered agents?

Georgia requires registered agents to be available during business hours, specifically 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. This is more specific than many states' general "business hours" requirements.

Can I use your address as my business mailing address?

Our address serves as your registered agent address for official state filings and legal service of process. While it is not intended as a general business mailing address, we will receive and forward any documents that arrive for your business entity.

How do I sign up for service?

Visit our checkout page to begin enrollment. We will collect your business information, provide your registered agent address for state filings, and establish your online document portal. If you're changing from another agent, we will guide you through the change process.

What happens if I miss my annual registration deadline?

Georgia may impose penalties for missed annual registration filings. Continued noncompliance can result in administrative dissolution of your entity. We send systematic compliance reminders to help you file on time and avoid these issues.

Do you provide registered agent service in other states?

Georgia Registered Agent specifically serves businesses registered in Georgia. If your business operates in multiple states, you will need a registered agent in each state where you're registered.

Why can't LLCs serve as entity registered agents in Georgia?

Georgia law specifies that only domestic or foreign corporations can serve as entity registered agents. This is a specific requirement that differs from some other states. Individual Georgia residents may also serve as registered agents.
