A registered agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official correspondence on behalf of your New Hampshire LLC or corporation. New Hampshire Registered Agent provides this essential service for $99 per year, enabling New Hampshire businesses to maintain compliance while protecting privacy.
Your registered agent serves as the official point of contact between your business entity and the state. When the New Hampshire Secretary of State issues notices or correspondence, they direct it to your registered agent. When legal papers require service, they are delivered to your registered agent during normal business hours.
This system serves multiple important functions. It provides the state and courts with a reliable method for contacting your business. It establishes a consistent point of contact even when your business address changes. It enables privacy protection by allowing use of a professional address rather than personal residential information on public records.
The registered agent's role is specific and defined: accept documents on your behalf and ensure prompt delivery to you. Registered agents do not provide legal advice, represent your business in legal proceedings, or manage your business correspondence—they ensure important documents reach you reliably and promptly.
New Hampshire maintains specific requirements regarding who can serve as a registered agent. Individuals must be New Hampshire residents and at least 18 years old. Business entities must be authorized to operate in the state.
A critical distinction in New Hampshire law: while an owner can serve personally as a registered agent, the business entity itself cannot serve as its own registered agent. This requirement ensures separation between the business entity and its registered agent function.
The registered agent must maintain a physical street address where documents can be received during normal business hours. Post office boxes do not satisfy this requirement because process servers and state officials must be able to deliver time-sensitive legal documents to a physical location.
LLCs and corporations formed in New Hampshire generally need to designate a registered agent during the formation process. Out-of-state businesses registering to conduct business in New Hampshire typically need to designate one as well.
This requirement applies regardless of business size or structure, from single-member LLCs to larger multi-entity corporate structures. The purpose is ensuring every business entity maintains a dependable, accessible point of contact for legal and official matters.
New Hampshire allows business owners to serve as their own registered agent if they meet the state's requirements: being at least 18 years old and a New Hampshire resident with a physical address where they're available during normal business hours.
However, several practical considerations warrant examination. When you serve as your own registered agent, your personal address becomes part of public record. Anyone researching your business can access your home or office address, potentially leading to unwanted solicitations and privacy concerns.
You must maintain reliable availability during normal business hours at your registered address. If you travel, maintain irregular hours, or simply want to avoid the potential disruption of legal service at your home or office, professional registered agent service provides a practical alternative.
Professional registered agent service offers several substantive benefits:
Privacy Protection — Our business address appears on public filings instead of your personal residential or office address. This protects your privacy and reduces unwanted marketing and solicitations.
Reliable Availability — We maintain consistent availability during normal business hours at our New Hampshire address. You can travel, relocate, or change offices without concerns about missing important documents.
Professional Presence — A dedicated business address in New Hampshire's capital presents a professional image and ensures dependable document receipt.
Same-Day Forwarding — When we receive documents, we scan and forward them to you immediately. You maintain awareness of all important matters without requiring physical presence.
Compliance Support — We track New Hampshire's April 1 annual report deadline (with $100 filing fee, or $102 online) and provide advance reminders, helping you avoid the $50 late penalty and maintain good standing.

New Hampshire businesses should be aware that the state maintains a Business Profits Tax (7.5%) and Business Enterprise Tax (0.5%) that may apply to LLCs. While we provide registered agent service and compliance reminders, tax obligations require separate attention and professional guidance.
