Can you be your own registered agent?

The checks to run before you name yourself.

• Confirm you have a physical street address in the state, not a P.O. box.

• Confirm someone is at that address during business hours every business day.

• Accept that your name and address become public record, searchable indefinitely.

• Decide who covers the address during holidays, illness and travel.

• Plan how you would update the state if you move or change address.

• Weigh the risk of missing service of process against the cost of a service.
