Alaska Registered Agent

In Alaska, your registered agent is a person or company that you designate to receive legal mail on behalf of your business. Registered agents exist to provide an official and reliable way to contact your business.

If your business is ever served with a lawsuit, the process server will deliver the paperwork directly to your registered agent. At that point, your business is legally considered served. The registered agent should then forward you your mail, quickly and securely.

Per Alaska state code § 10.06, registered agents are legally required in Alaska. At a minimum, your registered agent must list a physical address on the public record and be present at that address during business hours. But ideally, your registered agent should do more.
