What Is a Registered Agent in New York?

A registered agent in New York is the designated recipient of legal documents, service of process, and official correspondence from the New York Department of State on behalf of your business entity. Every LLC and corporation registered in New York is required to maintain a registered agent with a physical New York street address at all times.

New York automatically designates the Secretary of State as your agent for service of process when you form an entity. However, relying solely on the Secretary of State means legal documents are mailed to you by the state, which introduces significant delays. Designating URA as your registered agent ensures you receive prompt notification of anything received on your behalf.

New York also has a notable requirement specific to LLCs: within 120 days of formation, New York LLCs must publish a notice of formation in two newspapers in the county where the LLC's office is located.

New York Business Corporation Law / LLC Law Under N.Y. Bus. Corp. Law § 304 and N.Y. LLC Law § 301, every domestic and foreign entity registered in New York must designate the Secretary of State as its agent for service of process and may additionally designate a registered agent within the state with a physical New York address.
