What happens if my registered agent receives legal documents?
The agent records receipt and forwards or provides notice of the documents according to its procedures. If Swyft Filings is providing the registered agent service, documents will be scanned and uploaded to the customer’s Swyft portal for easy access. The customer will receive an email alert informing them that a new document has been uploaded. Legal documents can contain strict response deadlines, so they should be reviewed promptly.
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.
