A corporate registered agent receives legal process and compliance mail at a business entity's registered office in the state of incorporation or qualification. Many states mail annual reports and tax documents to the registered office, while other states mail these reports and tax documents to an entity's principal business office wherever this is located. Appointing a registered agent may reduce the risk of a business receiving service of process at its business location.
