Each state requires registered business entities (like LLCs, corporations, or nonprofits) to name a registered agent on their formation documents (usually “articles of organization” or “articles of incorporation”) when filed with the state. You may also want a registered agent to represent you so that the listed registered agent becomes public record.

Using a Registered Agent service like ATCRS is the best way to keep your sensitive personal data private and out of your company’s public information.
