What is a North Carolina Registered Agent?
A North Carolina registered agent is a person (18 or over) or business entity responsible for accepting state and legal mail on behalf of your LLC or corporation. Per state law (NC Gen Stat ยง 55D-30), your registered agent must also:
- Have a physical North Carolina address.
- Forward documents to you (the business owner) in a timely manner.
- Be available during regular business hours.
In addition, you’ll be required to list your registered agent’s address on public records, such as your business formation document. When you hire us as your North Carolina registered agent, we’ll list our business address (instead of your personal information) on public documents to protect your privacy.
