Keep Your Personal Address Private

Your home address doesn't belong on public business records. New Jersey Registered Agent provides a professional New Jersey address for your LLC or corporation, protecting your privacy while keeping you compliant with state requirements. For $99 per year, you get reliable document handling, compliance alerts, and the peace of mind that comes with keeping your personal information off the public record.

Why New Jersey Businesses Need a Registered Agent

Every LLC and corporation operating in New Jersey is generally expected to maintain a registered agent. The New Jersey Secretary of State requires this because your registered agent receives legal documents, official correspondence, and service of process on your behalf. Without one, your business cannot maintain good standing with the state.

New Jersey has specific standards for who can serve as a registered agent. Individuals must be at least 18 years old with a physical New Jersey address. Business entities must be authorized to operate in New Jersey. Your registered agent must maintain a physical street address in the state where they're available during regular business hours. While you can use a PO box as a secondary mailing address, it cannot be your primary registered office address.

Who needs a registered agent? If you've formed an LLC or corporation in New Jersey, or if you're a foreign entity registered to do business here, you'll need one from the start. Even if you live in New Jersey and run your business from home, using a professional service offers clear advantages.

The Benefits of Professional Registered Agent Service

Privacy Protection: This is what matters most to many business owners. When you use New Jersey Registered Agent, our Trenton address appears on your public business filings instead of your home address. Your personal information stays private, and you won't deal with unwanted solicitation or junk mail at home.

Reliable Document Handling: We're available during business hours every day to accept service of process, compliance notices, and official correspondence. When a document arrives, we scan it and forward it to you the same day so you can respond promptly.

Compliance Support: New Jersey requires annual reports due on the last day of your formation anniversary month. The filing fee is $75. We send timely reminders so you can file on time and maintain good standing with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services.

Professional Business Address: Having a registered office in New Jersey's capital demonstrates stability. Whether you operate locally or from out of state, our Trenton address provides a credible New Jersey presence.

Online Document Portal: Access your documents anytime through our secure online portal. Review past correspondence, download files, and manage your account when it's convenient for you.

Peace of Mind: You won't worry about missing important legal documents when you're traveling, working off-site, or simply busy running your business. We're here to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Straightforward Pricing: $99 Per Year

Many registered agent services in New Jersey charge between $125 and $436 annually. We think privacy protection and reliable service shouldn't come with inflated pricing. For $99 per year, you get everything: the New Jersey address, same-day document scanning and forwarding, compliance reminders, online portal access, and complete privacy protection.

No setup fees. No hidden charges. No surprise renewals. Just straightforward service at a fair price.

Understanding New Jersey Requirements

New Jersey has clear rules about registered agents, but the state also has some quirks worth knowing about.

Your registered agent cannot be your business entity itself. New Jersey law doesn't allow a business to serve as its own registered agent, so you'll need to designate either an individual who meets the age and address requirements, or a professional service like ours.

Changing your registered agent in New Jersey involves filing a change form and paying a $25 state filing fee. While it's not free like some states, the process is straightforward when you're ready to switch.

New Jersey also has an annual alternative minimum assessment of $150 for LLCs that are treated as corporations for tax purposes. This is separate from the annual report requirement and depends on how your LLC is classified for tax purposes.

Making the Switch Is Simple

Already have a registered agent but looking for better privacy protection or more reliable service? Changing is straightforward. We'll provide the necessary forms and guidance. You'll file the change with the New Jersey Secretary of State and pay the $25 state filing fee. Once processed, we'll take over as your registered agent and begin handling your documents immediately.

If you're forming a new New Jersey business, you can list New Jersey Registered Agent as your registered agent right on your formation documents. We'll be ready to accept correspondence as soon as your business is officially registered.
