lawyers in the various states, provides dependable registered agent/statutory
agent/resident agent service everywhere, plus other corporate and
legal services. We provide quality registered/statutory/resident agent
service in all of the United States.
Some
facts you should know about a registered agent in Florida:
"registered
agent," "statutory agent" and "resident agent"
are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company
to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer
to a Resident
of the state acting as an AGENT,
we have coined the term "ragent" to include them
all).
Your Florida registered
agent must be either (1) a domestic company formed under Florida corporate
law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Florida
or (3) an adult individual who resides in Florida. Because neither
an LLC (limited liability company) formed under Florida law nor a
foreign LLC is specifically mentioned as eligible to be a registered
agent, an inquiry to the Florida Secretary of State's office is recommended
if your agent is a limited liability company.
It is important
to note that a Florida registered agent must have a Florida street
address rather than a post office box and that the registered
agent must sign a consent to be registered agent and file it
with the Florida Secretary of State.
APPOINTING
A NEW FLORIDA REGISTERED AGENT
We welcome newly
formed companies, as well as companies previously formed who presently
have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality
and dependability may be open to question. A company which desires
to change its existing registered agent in Florida may do so at any
time by completing a change of Florida registered agent form and submitting
it to the Florida Secretary of State.
When you order
online, we take care of filling out this form and sending it to
you for signature. Upon its return (signed) to us we will take care
of filing this form, and we will also pay the fee which must be paid
to the Florida Secretary of State to make the change.
If you would prefer
to sign the form first and send it to us so that we may complete it
and file it with the Florida Secretary of State, along with the filing
fee, the change of Florida registered agent form for an LLC can be
found at http://form.sunbiz.org/pdf/inhs18.pdf
and the form for a corporation is available at http://form.sunbiz.org/pdf/cr2e045.pdf.
Just sign it and get it to us and we will take care of the rest.
If your present
agent is prepaid for a period of time, you can instruct us not to
make the change until that period of time has expired.
