Registered Office and Registered Agent

(1) Each domestic corporation and each foreign corporation authorized to transact business in the commonwealth must continuously maintain a registered office in the commonwealth and a registered agent at that office. (2) The registered office must be a street address. A post office box address is not sufficient. The registered office may, but need not be, the corporation’s principal office or its place of business. (3) The registered agent may be an individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic not-for-profit corporation, a foreign corporation qualified to do business in the commonwealth, or other entity authorized by law. (4) A domestic corporation that has not previously appointed a registered agent shall file an appointment of registered agent and registered office with the Division. (5) The appointment of registered agent/registered office consists of a form supplied by the Division or a document formatted in the same manner as the Division form. Such appointment shall set forth: (b) the street address of its registered office in the commonwealth; (c) the name of the registered agent at that office; and (d) the written consent of the registered agent to the appointment.
