Illinois Corporate Statutes require each Corporation that is formed
in Illinois to continuously maintain a Registered Office and Registered
Agent within the State of Illinois.
If you have a business
office in the state, an individual can accept the responsibilities
of Registered Agent. However, it is normally recommended that you
retain the services of a Registered Agent Service. Failure to maintain
a consistent Registered Agent is the most frequent reason for inadvertant
administrative dissolution and loss of corporate status. This often
results when your RA relocates or fails to take action upon receipt
of information regarding the corporation. For this reason it is recommended
that you retain a service that performs RA services as a regular part
of its business.

The Registered Agent may be an individual or a corporation; provided
that such individual or corporation must maintain a Registered Office
within the State of Illinois. A corporation that is designated as
Registered Agent for another corporation must be specifically authorized
in its articles of incorporation to act as a registered agent for
other corporations.
The corporation being formed cannot act as its own Registered Agent.
Each corporation must also have a registered office which must be
identical to the business office of the Registered Agent. The office
must be located in the State of Illinois and must have either (1)
a street or road address, or (2) a rural route and box number.
At the time of Incorporation, the Registered Agent must execute an
acceptance of its appointment as a Registered Agent and that the Registered
Agent is familiar with and accepts responsibilities as Registered
Agent. Your DigiLaw Incorporation E-Book includes the form that Illinois
requires for acceptance by your Registered Agent. You should never
name a Registered Agent in a filing with the state until you have
obtained a written acceptance of that position from the Registered
Agent.
Under Illinois Law, the Registered Agent agrees to accept service
of legal process on the Corporation and is also the address that the
State Corporation's office uses to communicate with the corporation..
