How State Requirements Differ
Physical address
Most states require a street address, not just a P.O. box, where official documents can be delivered.
Business hours
The registered agent must generally be available during normal business hours to receive service of process.
Foreign qualification
If your company operates outside its formation state, you may need a registered agent in each foreign-qualified state.
