New Jersey Registered Agent Services
A physical New Jersey office, a real person during business hours, and same-day notice when something arrives.
New Jersey has specific requirements...
But don't worry, we organized them for you!
Every corporation, LLC, LP, and LLP formed or registered to do business in New Jersey must maintain a registered agent with a physical address in NJ.
Can I use my own address?
We don't recommend it. Here's why:
Serving as your own agent puts your home or office address permanently on your public record, retrievable by anyone who searches your company name.
You need to physically be at that address during business hours to accept service of process along with official notices. Most owners can't be there 24/7, which is where the risk lies.
If service of process arrives and is not accepted, you can lose a case you never knew was filed. Missed service is one of the more common routes to default judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at orders@aceglobalbiz.com if you cannot find an answer to your question. We're here to help!
A registered agent is the official address where the state and the courts know they can reach your company. Being your agent means you collect your mail and let you know what we received! You'll notice the impact once we remind you about an upcoming deadline.
The first consequence is administrative. Your company falls out of good standing, which becomes an issue as soon as you need a certificate of good standing. If the lapse continues, New Jersey can revoke your registration.
The second consequence is more serious. If a lawsuit is filed and service of process cannot be completed, court deadlines continue to run regardless. A case can proceed without without your knowledge and result in a default judgment. Missed service is one of the more common paths from a manageable dispute to an unmanageable one.
Limited liability companies file Form L-122, the Certificate of Change. Corporations and limited partnerships file Form C-104G. Both carry a $25 state filing fee, and you can submit by mail, in person, or online through the Division of Revenue's business amendments service. If your annual report is due, you can also change agents within that filing for the same fee.
Good news! Here at ACE, we will compile and file the necessary documents for you.
Yes! The address exists so that courts and state agencies have a dependable place to reach your company, so it is necessarily part of New Jersey's public business records, searchable by company name.
This is one of the main reasons businesses use an agent service. The address has to be public, but it doesn't have to be your own. When you appoint us, our ofifce address appears in record instead of yours!
Yes. Each state where you are formed or registered as a foreign entity requires its own agent with an address in that state. A company registered in four states has four agent requirements, four sets of annual filings, and four independent deadlines.
Understandably, this can be a source of frustration for growing companies, typically because each state's requirements differ slightly.
Yes! We coordinate registered office, resident agent, statutory representation, and company secretarial services in many jurisdictions worldwide.
