Why States in general require corporations to have a Registered Agent?

Most states, including Delaware, require that a corporation have a Registered Agent who maintains a registered office within the state of incorporation. This Registered Office may be at an address that is different from the Corporation's business address (as where the corporation's business office is not located within the state).

Most often, you may act as registered agent for your corporation as long as your Registered Address is within the state of incorporation. Please note, this address may not be a post office box.

The main purpose of the registered Office/Agent requirement is to provide potential claimants against your corporation with a person, whose whereabouts are available in public records, who may accept service of process on behalf of the corporation. In addition, tax notices and other official documents are usually forwarded to the Registered Office/Agent.
