hi lee phillips here i want to answer a question that i get a lot and that is do
i need to use the address of my residence if i'm going to be a registered agent on my llc
or a registered agent on my corporation or in the application for the ein number for my company
they always ask for physical address the answer is yeah you can use your physical address
your residence that works do not use a post box do not use one of these
places where you have an address and they get the mail and give it to you don't use that that's
that's not the purpose of this the purpose of this is to be able to have the sheriff show up
and hand you the lawsuit when you get sued and you want that to occur in that you want
to know about the lawsuit because you've only got so long in order to answer that lawsuit
if you're using one of these services they show up they deliver it you don't go down to the service
uh you the service screws up and doesn't give it to you they don't care the courts don't care
you defaulted on this lawsuit you just lost so the primary purpose of this registered agent's address
is a place where the state can send you official information they want your money
and two where do we serve you when there's a lawsuit and so that's the purpose of a physical
address that somebody has to show up and have somebody there who will sign for the lawsuit
use your personal residence that's okay you can use your office but if you change office addresses
you're obviously gonna have to change all the information at the state for your registered agent
so you just need a physical address you can use your mother-in-law's address
but you've got to rely on the fact that if the sheriff shows up on the front door
and says sign here your mother-in-law is going to panic and call you immediately
and that choked me all up but you've got to have this this continuity of being able to receive the
lawsuit to receive the information in a timely manner at a physical address that's basically
the only thing we're doing people say oh it blows my privacy yeah it could blow your privacy but
in today's society if i can find your name on the llc i can certainly find out where you live
that's no problem so you know do i say use your personal address yeah that's okay preference
maybe your office address if it's permanent office and you own the office and you're sure
that you're going to get the mail or the stuff that the sheriff shows up and hands somebody
so those are the issues where do i get an address for my registered agent corporation llc for my ein
