What Is a Registered Agent in Delaware?

Delaware is home to more than half of all publicly traded U.S. companies and the majority of Fortune 500 corporations, largely because of its business-friendly legal environment and the Court of Chancery. But every entity formed here, regardless of size, must maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state.

The registered agent receives official legal documents, service of process, and correspondence from the Division of Corporations on your entity's behalf. Because most entities formed here are not physically located in the state, a registered agent service is essentially mandatory in practice.

The state also requires your registered agent to be listed on your Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Formation at the time of filing. It is not something you can add later.

Delaware General Corporation Law / LLC Act Under Del. Code tit. 8, § 131 (corporations) and Del. Code tit. 6, § 18-104 (LLCs), every Delaware entity must at all times maintain a registered agent in the state. The agent must have a business address in Delaware. A P.O. box is not sufficient.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Delaware offers several advantages: the Court of Chancery (a specialized business court with no jury), well-developed corporate case law, a business-friendly legal climate, and no state corporate income tax for companies not doing business in Delaware. Over 60% of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated there.
Yes. If your entity is formed here, you are required to maintain a registered agent in Delaware regardless of where you actually live or do business. This is one of the primary reasons registered agent services exist — most entities formed in the state have no physical presence there.
No. The franchise tax is a separate annual obligation paid directly to the state. Corporations pay by March 1 (amount varies based on authorized shares or assumed par value method). LLCs pay a flat $300 annual tax by June 1. URA will remind you of both deadlines, but the tax is not part of your registered agent fee.
Corporations file a Certificate of Change with the Division of Corporations ($50 fee). LLCs file a Certificate of Amendment ($50 fee). Once you order with URA, we'll provide your new agent information and can assist with the filing if needed.
Yes. If your entity is doing business in another state, you'll typically need to register as a foreign entity there and maintain a registered agent in that state as well. URA serves in all 50 states, so you can manage everything through one provider at the same flat rate.
If an agent resigns without a replacement being named, the Division of Corporations will mark your entity as having no registered agent, which can lead to loss of good standing. With URA, we will always notify you in advance if any service change is necessary.
