Colorado Registered Agent

If you own a business in Colorado, state law requires you to designate a registered agent to receive legal documents, government notices, and important compliance-related correspondence. At High Plains Law, we provide reliable and professional Colorado registered agent managed services to keep your business in good standing and ensure you never miss critical legal notices.

A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive official documents on behalf of a business. Colorado law requires all LLCs, corporations, and partnerships to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state. This registration is made with the Colorado Secretary of State, and the registered agent's name and location is publicly available information.

A registered agent’s primary responsibilities include:

• Accepting legal documents, such as lawsuits (service of process) and subpoenas.
• Receiving compliance notices from the Colorado Secretary of State.
• Ensuring your business stays informed of annual report deadlines and other state filing requirements.
• Providing a reliable contact point for official government correspondence.

Failure to maintain a registered agent in Colorado can lead to serious consequences, including penalties, loss of good standing, and even administrative dissolution of your business.

To serve as a registered agent in Colorado, the agent must meet the following criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old (if an individual).
• Maintain a physical street address in Colorado (P.O. boxes are not allowed).
• Be available during normal business hours to accept legal documents.
• Consent to act as the registered agent for the business.

While business owners can (and often do) serve as their own registered agents, there are significant advantages to hiring a professional registered agent service, especially if your business is a smaller one.

Registered agent service costs vary based on the provider and level of service. At High Plains Law, we offer affordable and transparent pricing for managed registered agent services.
