What Is a Registered Agent in Alabama?

A registered agent is an individual or business entity authorized to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your Alabama business. Maintaining a registered agent is a continuous requirement for every LLC and corporation operating in the state.

Alabama Registered Agent provides this essential service for $99/year with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

What Does a Registered Agent Do?

Your registered agent acts as the official point of contact between your business and Alabama's legal and regulatory systems. The agent receives:

Legal Documents Service of process for lawsuits, subpoenas, and other legal notices requiring formal delivery to your business entity.

State Correspondence Official communications from the Alabama Secretary of State, including filing confirmations, compliance notices, and administrative updates.

Tax and Regulatory Documents Notifications regarding Business Privilege Tax, state agency communications, licensing matters, and regulatory compliance.

Document Forwarding A professional registered agent scans and forwards all received documents to you immediately, typically the same day they arrive.

Alabama's Registered Agent Requirements

The Alabama Secretary of State establishes specific criteria that every registered agent must meet:

Physical Address in Alabama The agent must have a physical street address in the state. PO boxes are not acceptable as registered agent addresses.

Availability During Business Hours The agent must be present at the registered address during normal business hours to accept service of process and official documents.

Age and Residency Requirements Individual agents must be at least 18 years old and Alabama residents. Business entities serving as registered agents must be authorized to operate in Alabama.

Who Needs a Registered Agent?

Alabama LLCs Every limited liability company formed in Alabama must designate a registered agent at formation and maintain one continuously.

Alabama Corporations All corporations organized under Alabama law need a registered agent as an ongoing compliance requirement.

Foreign Entities Businesses formed in other states but registered to do business in Alabama must maintain an Alabama registered agent.

Professional and Nonprofit Organizations Professional corporations and nonprofit entities operating in Alabama also need registered agents meeting the same requirements.

Can I Be My Own Registered Agent?

Alabama doesn't permit self-appointment under current requirements. Even if you technically meet the age and residency criteria, serving as your own agent creates several practical challenges:

Privacy Concerns Your personal or business address appears on public records filed with the Alabama Secretary of State, accessible to anyone searching the state's business database.

Availability Requirements You must be at the registered address during business hours to accept documents. Travel, irregular schedules, or remote work arrangements can create compliance issues.

Professionalism Considerations Receiving legal documents can be uncomfortable, particularly if served at your home or in front of employees and customers.

Risk of Missed Documents If you're unavailable when important documents arrive, you might miss critical deadlines for responding to legal matters or compliance requirements.
