Your Trusted Louisiana Registered Agent Service (Metairie & New Orleans)

 

When you form an LLC or corporation in Louisiana, the state requires you to name a registered agent. This isn’t just a formality; it’s a critical legal requirement to ensure your business stays compliant and never misses a critical legal notice.

 

Lafayette Process Servers LLC (operating as Metairie Process Servers) offers a professional, local, and dependable Louisiana Registered Agent service. We provide the peace of mind you need so you can focus on what you do best: running your business.

 

 

Key Takeaways

 

  • Every LLC and corporation in Louisiana is required by law to have a registered agent with a physical in-state address.

 

  • A registered agent’s primary job is to accept service of process (lawsuits) and official state mail on behalf of your business.

 

  • Using a professional service protects your privacy by keeping your home address off public records.

 

  • Unlike mail-forwarding companies, we are process servers—we understand the urgency and legal importance of the documents we receive.

 

 

A Quick Video Overview: What is a Registered Agent? 🎥

 

 

 

What is a Louisiana Registered Agent? 📜

 

A Louisiana Registered Agent (sometimes called an “agent for service of process”) is a person or company that you officially designate to receive legal documents and official state correspondence for your business. In other words, they are your business’s legal point of contact.

 

This includes receiving critical documents such as:

 

  • Service of Process (lawsuits and subpoenas)

 

  • Official Mail from the Louisiana Secretary of State

 

  • Tax Notices from the Department of Revenue

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

  • Q: Can I be my own registered agent?

 

  • A: Yes, but it means your personal home address will be listed on public record, and you must be available at that address during all business hours, every day.

 

  • Q: Can I use a P.O. Box for my registered agent?

 

  • A: No. Louisiana law requires a physical street address where documents can be hand-delivered.

 

  • Q: What happens if I don’t have a registered agent?

 

  • A: Your business can fall out of “good standing” with the state, which can lead to fines and administrative dissolution. You could also lose a lawsuit via default judgment because you were not properly notified.
