Registered Agent
Registered agent service in all 50 US states
PayNest UK serves as your official US registered agent — receiving service of process, state correspondence, and annual report notices on behalf of your LLC or corporation. Every document is scanned to your dashboard the same day it arrives, and we send proactive compliance alerts so your company stays in good standing.
Why every US LLC needs a registered agent
Every state requires an LLC or corporation to designate a registered agent — a person or business entity with a physical address in the state of formation, available during normal business hours to accept legal documents. Without an active registered agent, the state can administratively dissolve your company, void your good standing, and expose you to default judgments in lawsuits you never saw served.
What's included

- Same-day scanning of service of process
- Annual report and franchise tax reminders
- Secure dashboard with searchable mail history
