Registered Agents in New Hampshire
New Hampshire corporations and LLCs are required to have a registered agent located in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents including service of process (litigation) documents, franchise tax forms, and annual report forms.
A New Hampshire registered agent is an individual or company located at a street address in New Hampshire. Post office boxes are not acceptable addresses for a registered agent in New Hampshire.
If a company, such as BizFilings, is acting as your registered agent they must be registered as a corporation in New Hampshire. There are a number of advantages to using a registered agent service provider in New Hampshire, but the advantages differ between large and small companies.
Large companies in New Hampshire benefit by having service of process and state documents send to their registered agent's office in New Hampshire. The registered agent follows delivery instructions to ensure that important documents reach the correct individual. Smaller companies in New Hampshire benefit by providing a consistent New Hampshire address.
Another advantage to using another company as your New Hampshire registered agent is that the information of your New Hampshire registered agent is public record.
