Delaware registered agent & registered office

Delaware Registered Agent Services

A dependable Delaware registered agent and registered office for corporations, LLCs, attorneys, law firms, and businesses. Our Wilmington office gives your entity a local Delaware address for service of process and official state correspondence.

Registered agent services for Delaware corporations and LLCs

Delaware law requires corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and other registered entities to maintain a registered agent and a registered office in Delaware. The registered office must be a physical street address in the state where the registered agent can be reached during normal business hours.

Many businesses form a Delaware corporation or LLC while operating in another state. M. BURR KEIM COMPANY provides the required Delaware registered agent and registered office, so the entity has a reliable local point of contact for service of process, official state mail, and other legal notices. Attorneys and law firms also use our Delaware registered agent services to maintain a consistent address for multiple client entities.

We serve as a commercial registered agent for Delaware entities and coordinate with our nationwide network when the same client needs registered agent coverage in additional states.
