Resident Agent
Your resident agent receives service of process for your business — official court notices.
Your resident agent must be a Maryland resident age 18 or older, a Maryland corporation, or a Maryland LLC. They must agree to act as your resident agent before you file. This is required by law (Md Code, Corporations & Associations §1-208(a)).
Your resident agent can be someone in your business, or an outside third party.
Email sdat.charterhelp@maryland.gov if you need help. We cannot recommend a company to act as your resident agent.
