What Is a Registered Agent in Pennsylvania?

A registered agent in Pennsylvania is the designated individual or entity authorized to receive service of process, official legal documents, and correspondence from the Pennsylvania Department of State on behalf of your business. Every LLC and corporation registered in the state must maintain a registered agent with a physical Pennsylvania address at all times.

Pennsylvania uses the term "registered agent" and requires that the agent be available during regular business hours at a physical Pennsylvania street address. P.O. boxes are not permitted.

Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does not require an annual report from most entities. Instead, it requires a decennial report — filed once every ten years — to confirm the entity is still active. This makes staying on top of your registered agent obligation even more important, since there are fewer regular touchpoints with the state.

Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law / LLC Law Under 15 Pa. C.S. § 1507 (corporations) and 15 Pa. C.S. § 8821 (LLCs), every domestic and foreign entity registered in Pennsylvania must continuously maintain a registered agent at a registered office in the Commonwealth. The registered office must be a physical street address. Failure to maintain a registered agent can result in the Department of State revoking the entity's certificate of authority.

Pennsylvania Decennial Report Unlike most states, Pennsylvania does not require an annual report. Instead, entities must file a decennial report once every ten years during the year ending in "1" (e.g., 2021, 2031). The filing fee is $70. Entities that fail to file may be marked as inactive by the Department of State. URA will remind you when your decennial report is due.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does not require an annual report from most business entities. Instead, Pennsylvania requires a decennial report filed once every ten years during years ending in "1" (e.g., 2021, 2031). The filing fee is $70. Entities that fail to file may be marked as inactive by the Department of State.
Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent if you have a physical Pennsylvania street address and are available during regular business hours. Most business owners use a professional service to keep their personal address off public record and ensure consistent availability when legal documents arrive.
Failing to maintain a registered agent can result in the Department of State revoking your entity's certificate of authority or marking it as inactive. This removes your liability protection and can have serious legal and financial consequences. Reinstatement requires fees and additional filings.
To change your registered agent, you file a statement of change with the Pennsylvania Department of State. Once you place your order with URA, we handle this filing on your behalf so you don't have to navigate the state system yourself.
Yes. If your out-of-state company has employees, offices, or is doing business in Pennsylvania, you must register as a foreign entity with the Department of State and maintain a Pennsylvania registered agent. URA can serve as your agent here and in your home state simultaneously at the same flat annual rate.
Your service renews on the anniversary of your order date. We'll send a renewal reminder at least 30 days in advance. Failure to renew may result in URA resigning as your registered agent, which would require you to designate a new agent to maintain compliance with the state.
