Can you serve as your own Registered Agent?
Last updated Sunday, April 7, 2024
Although individuals may
serve as their own registered agent in Nevada, it is not recommended. Not only
do you lose a layer of privacy and anonymity, per Section 86.231, you must have a physical street address located in the
state of Nevada. A Registered Agent address cannot be a PO Box
address, mail center or apartment and needs to be open and available during
normal business hours in case Service of Process arrives. Service of Process
includes the delivery of legal documents such as complaints, summons, and
subpoenas. A corporation or LLC registered agent must have a physical address
within the state where the company is doing business, and a post office box
does not suffice. A private mail service or mailbox also does not fulfill the
requirement.
If you plan on being your own registered
agent, you may end up having to use your home address (particularly if you have
a home-based or web-based business), which will make the address public. This
raises privacy concerns and also means the address will be available to
marketers and may increase the amount of junk mail you receive at your home.
Additionally, it could mean a process server or angry litigant could come to
your home to serve you with notice of a lawsuit, something you may not want to
deal with at home. Address change notices must be made promptly, and if you're
planning on moving or relocating your business location, you would need to
notify the state of each address change, which can be time-consuming. You will
likely also need to pay a fee for each notification of an address change.
Registered agents are particularly important
for companies that are not based in a state where they are doing business.
There must a way to contact the company for legal purposes, and a designated
registered agent is the way to do so. Registered agents are required to
maintain regular business hours to accept service of process. This can be
difficult for small business owners who often cannot stay in an office all day
and who cannot afford to hire full-time employees to work out of a specific
location.
There are significant responsibilities
incurred as a Registered Agent.
Failure to perform the duties successfully can have serious adverse
consequences for the business. A
Registered Agent is a key component to how the court and legal systems work. By
requiring all Nevada business entities to have (and continuously maintain) a
Registered Agent on file with the state, the delivery of legal mail and court
documents can be tracked and accounted for. You never want to miss an important
notice, paying a small fee each year for registered agent services so that you
have an agent for service of process and other notices is well worth the time
you will save in trying to keep track of official notices yourself and making
sure you're sorting and reading your mail. Nevada
Registered Agent Service™ ensures you won't miss or forget about an
important notice, which could be hugely expensive for your company if you don't
respond to pending litigation or if you fail to renew you state license or
annual list by their deadlines.
