While you're not required to operate in the same state where you originally incorporated, you are required to maintain a physical presence in every state where your company operates. That's where Registered Agents come in. A registered agent, sometimes known as a resident agent or a statutory agent, is the address that your business uses to receive official mail, including legal and tax notifications. It must be a physical address; you cannot use a post office box.Express Shipping
