What are the risks of acting as my own registered agent?
Considerations include public disclosure of the registered-office address on the state website, the need for reliable availability during required hours, and the possibility of receiving legal documents at that location. Failure to maintain a compliant agent can also affect good standing.
For Swyft Filings customers using its registered agent service, qualifying official documents are handled through the secure account rather than ordinary postal forwarding. The registered agent receives covered notices at the registered office, processes them, and makes digital copies available so the business can review and act on them. The business remains responsible for responding to legal notices, filing deadlines, or government requests contained in those documents.
