Registered Agent or Business Service

Serving an LLC or corporation through a registered agent or business address. What to send PPS Serve and what the attempt record includes.

Entity service lives or dies on the right name and the right office. Pack the agent or business address as it appears on the papers. When this situation comes up The defendant is an LLC, corporation, or other business. The papers name a registered agent, a principal office, or both. Service at a home address may not be what counsel wants on that file. This is routine work when the agent address is current and the documents are complete. It stalls when the entity name, suite number, or agent line is missing. What PPS Serve can handle PPS Serve serves papers at the registered agent or business address you authorize. The attempt note identifies the office, who accepted if anyone did, and whether the location was closed or moved. We do not choose the legal method for you. If the papers require service on a registered agent, send that address. If counsel also wants a second location, send it as a separate authorized address. What to include with the request Match the packet to the entity on the caption. Printing: first 20 pages included. Additional pages are $0.25 per page. Every page that must be served, in order Legal name of the entity as it appears on the papers Registered agent name and address, with suite Business or principal-office address if that is the authorized location Deadline and any office-hour notes Counsel’s written instructions if a firm is involved What updates and proof to expect You should see the office or agent location, the date and time, and whether documents were accepted, refused, or left as instructed. Building or suite photos help when the agent sits in a large office park. Entity rules belong with your attorney. PPS Serve records the field work. Can you serve the owner at home instead of the registered agent? Only if that is the address you authorize in writing. Send the location counsel wants served. We do not substitute a home address on our own. What if the registered agent office is closed? The attempt note will say so. Send other authorized hours or another address if counsel wants another visit.
