What Is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent provides a physical address that appears on the state's records to receive legal notices such as court summons, subpoenas, wage garnishments, liens, and government notices. These are time-sensitive—failure to respond by a deadline can result in penalties, contempt findings, or default judgments. SingleFile ensures these important legal documents are forwarded to the right person on your team the same business day.

Frequently asked questions
What is a registered agent?
A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive legal documents, government correspondence, and service of process on behalf of your business entity. Most states where your entity is registered require a registered agent with a physical address in the state. While companies can serve as their own registered agent if they have an office in a state, there are privacy, efficiency and reliability reasons to use a commercial registered agent.
Why do I need a registered agent?
Almost every state requires a registered agent for corporations, LLCs, and other business entities. The agent ensures you receive time-sensitive legal documents that could result in penalties, contempt findings, or default judgments if missed. By using SingleFile, process servers deliver documents directly to us instead of attempting service at your home or office.
What documents does a registered agent receive?
Registered agents receive service of process, court summons, subpoenas, wage garnishments, liens, tax documents, and official state correspondence. SingleFile's AI routes these documents to the right people in your organization automatically.
How quickly does SingleFile forward documents?
SingleFile provides same-day digital forwarding for documents received as registered agent. Documents are scanned and uploaded to your secure dashboard, then routed to the appropriate contacts.
