All U.S. states require corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and other business entity types to designate an office within the state for the purpose of accepting legal process (exceptions are entities registering in New York State and Oklahoma foreign entities). You must provide an in-state address to where a court summons, wage garnishment or other legal correspondence can be physically delivered.
If your company does not have a physical presence (office) within a state in which you are required to be registered with the Secretary of State or the equivalent, you will be required appoint another party to serve as registered agent. We provide this service.
