What Is a Registered Agent in Georgia?

A registered agent is a person or business entity authorized to receive legal documents, service of process, and official government correspondence on behalf of your Georgia business. Georgia law requires every LLC, corporation, and limited partnership to designate a registered agent with a physical address in the state.

For $99 per year, Georgia Registered Agent provides professional registered agent service with systematic document handling, compliance alerts, and privacy protection.

What Does a Registered Agent Do?

Your registered agent serves as your business's official point of contact for important legal and government documents:

Service of Process If your business is named in a lawsuit, court documents will be served to your registered agent. This includes summons, complaints, subpoenas, and other legal notices.

State Correspondence The Georgia Secretary of State sends official notices, filing confirmations, annual registration reminders, and other government correspondence to your registered agent address.

Tax Notices State agencies send tax-related documents and notifications to your registered agent.

Legal Notices Various legal notifications related to your business operations, regulatory matters, or corporate actions are delivered through your registered agent.

Georgia's Registered Agent Requirements

The Georgia Secretary of State has specific requirements for who can serve as a registered agent:

For Individual Registered Agents:

Must be a Georgia resident
Must be available during business hours, specifically 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays

For Entity Registered Agents:

Only domestic or foreign corporations can serve as entity registered agents
LLCs cannot serve as entity registered agents in Georgia
Must maintain a physical address in Georgia
Must be available during required business hours

Self-Appointment Georgia does not allow businesses to self-appoint as their own registered agent. An individual who meets the residency requirements may serve, or you may designate a qualifying corporation.

Georgia requires a physical street address for the registered office. PO boxes are not acceptable for registered agent addresses, though they may be used for principal office addresses. The agent must be available during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM weekdays) to receive documents.

Who Needs a Registered Agent?

Georgia law requires the following business types to maintain a registered agent:

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Corporations (C-corps and S-corps)
Limited Partnerships (LPs)
Nonprofit corporations
Out-of-state businesses registered to do business in Georgia

When you form a new business or register a foreign entity in Georgia, you designate your registered agent on your formation or registration documents.

Can I Be My Own Registered Agent?

Georgia does not allow businesses to serve as their own registered agent. An individual who is a Georgia resident can fulfill this role, but there are practical considerations:

Privacy Concerns Your registered agent's address appears on public business records accessible through the Georgia Secretary of State's website. Using your home address means your personal information is publicly searchable. A professional service protects this information.

Availability Requirements You must be available during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM weekdays) to accept service of process. If you travel, work irregular hours, or manage your business remotely, you may miss important documents.

Professional Image Many businesses prefer to project an established image by using a professional registered agent with a dedicated commercial address.

Multiple Entities If you manage several business entities, systematically tracking documents and deadlines for each can be complex.

Benefits of Using a Professional Registered Agent Service

Systematic Document Handling We scan and email documents the same day they arrive, ensuring you have immediate access to lawsuits, compliance notices, or other time-sensitive matters. Original documents are forwarded to your designated address.

Privacy Protection Our Atlanta address appears on your public business filings instead of your home or office, shielding your personal information from public databases.

Compliance Alerts We monitor Georgia's filing deadlines and send alerts about your annual registration (due between January 1 and April 1) and other requirements. This supports your efforts to avoid penalties and maintain good standing with the state.

Consistent Availability We maintain availability during Georgia's required business hours (9 AM to 5 PM weekdays) to accept service of process and legal documents. You do not have to concern yourself with missed deliveries.

Professional Address Our Georgia address satisfies state requirements and provides a stable point of contact for legal and government correspondence.
