Registered Agent
Keep official notices visible and make the next step clear.
A Registered Agent receives official notices on behalf of the entity. Institution routes each notice to a named owner, preserves the record, and keeps continuity across renewals.

Review coverage and billingCoverage
What Registered Agent service covers.
Service of process
Legal notices delivered to the entity are received on the entity's behalf.

State-issued notices received, scanned, and routed to the correct owner.
Annual report reminders
Reminders track filing windows for good-standing responsibilities.
Notice archive

Distinctions
Three things people confuse for the same service.
Each has a different scope, address, and responsibility.
Registered Agent
Receives official notices at a state-registered address.
Mail forwarding
Handles ordinary business mail, a separate service.
Legal representation
Provided by counsel, not by a Registered Agent.
Continuity
Keep coverage and notice routing current.
The point of a Registered Agent is that notices never go missing between engagements. When teams change, when addresses change, when the business qualifies in another state, the same entity record carries forward, with the notice history intact.
Boundaries
What Registered Agent service does not do.
- We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
- We do not scan ordinary business mail, that is mail forwarding.
- We coordinate with the entity's counsel; we do not represent the entity in litigation.
Frequently asked
How much is Institution's Registered Agent service?
The published Delaware price is $99/year. Launch incorporation includes the first year; continued coverage is billed separately. State taxes, annual-report fees and mail forwarding are separate unless expressly included.Review current service feesWhat does the service include?
The published scope includes receiving service of process and state tax notifications, secure digital scanning and annual-report reminders. Confirm the covered entity, jurisdiction, named notice recipient and renewal date before starting.Is coverage available outside Delaware?
This published offer describes Delaware Registered Agent coverage. Ask Institution to confirm another state's availability, provider and price before relying on coverage. Remote bookkeeping service does not establish a Registered Agent address in every state.Is a Registered Agent the same as a virtual business address?
No. A Registered Agent receives designated official notices. Ordinary business mail, forwarding and virtual mailing or business-address services have their own scope. Do not use the agent address for banking or other registrations without checking the applicable requirements.Does the agent pay franchise tax or file annual reports?
Reminders and notice handling do not pay the company's taxes or satisfy a filing obligation. Assign an owner for each required filing and payment. Any preparation or filing service must be included expressly in the engagement.Check Delaware annual report and tax instructionsCan I switch from my current Registered Agent?
Confirm the incoming service's acceptance, any state change filing and its effective date before ending the existing service. Keep records and notice access during the change. The team confirms whether state filing work or fees are included in your order.What happens when a legal or tax notice arrives?
The notice is received, scanned and routed to the designated owner under the agreed service. Keep recipient details current and review notices promptly. A response may require your lawyer or tax professional; scanning a notice does not extend its deadline.Does this include legal representation?
No. Registered Agent service does not include legal advice, litigation defense, a tax opinion or IRS representation. The company appoints qualified professionals for those matters.
