Using VirtualPostMail as your NEVADA Registered Agent
If you own or are thinking of establishing a NEVADA-based corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or limited partnership (LP), then you can use VPM as your Registered Agent to receive and process legal mail for your business. This guide lists the steps to change your existing agent service to us.
Registered Agent Service Is FREE for Your Company
Registered agent service comes with every virtual mailbox or TruLease plan and is totally free of charge. There are no extra monthly or annual fees!
Requirements
You must fulfill these requirements to use VPM as your registered agent:
- You must have a VPM account in good standing. Sign up for a mailbox if you don't have one with us yet.
- You must have a Nevada mailbox address in order to use us as your Nevada registered agent.
- Your VPM Mailbox account must be in good standing.
- The corporation, LLC, or LP must be registered with the State of Nevada as either a domestic or foreign business entity. Domestic means that Nevada is the state where your business was initially chartered. Foreign means that your existing business is registered to do business in a state or jurisdiction other than where it was originally incorporated.
- You must add the business as a recipient to your mailbox account. The business name must match the one that is registered with the state.
Updating Your Registered Agent to VPM for Your Existing Entity
- Contact us via email if you would like to change your registered agent to us. Include your company's name, business structure, and mailbox number.
- We will respond with a link to an online electronic form with instructions that you can fill out.
- There will be three fields to complete, which include your company's name, signature, and date.
- Once the form is completed, download the signed document and submit the form to the Secretary of State with the appropriate fees mentioned on the form. As of 2022, it is $60.
- Want to save time? Let us file the form for you! We will bill you the filing fee plus a $50 service fee. This fee will be deducted from your mailbox account.
- If filing on your own, select the option that indicates us as the "Commercial Registered Agent".
Using VPM as Your Registered Agent for a NEW Entity
The Nevada Secretary of State will require you to name the registered agent upon registration and obtain a Certificate of Acceptance from the Registered Agent. Here is the procedure to do it:
- Contact us via email if you would like to change your registered agent to us. Include your company's name, business structure, and mailbox number.
- If you have not already done so, add your business name to your mailbox as a recipient in your Mailbox Settings under the Recipients tab.
- We will provide a link to an electronic copy of the Registered Agent Acceptance/Statement of Change form that you can fill out.
- The form will have a few fields to fill out before it can be immediately downloaded. Make sure to add the EXACT business name you will be registering.
- You can then upload or send this certificate along with all your other registration documents. When uploading, select the option that indicates us as the "Commercial Registered Agent".
After Switching Your Registered Agent Service to VPM
Once you have formally switched to us, everything works similarly to how we process your regular mail.
- When we receive formal legal mail, including any litigation notice, we scan it online for you to view and process. It is usually available the same day we receive the document.
- You can either ask us to forward the mail or open and scan it. For urgent matters, you may submit a special request to forward mail using Express Mail.
Keep Your Account in Good Standing
If your mailbox is suspended or cancelled, we will no longer act as your registered agent and revoke our status as your registered agent.
Reminder: Obtain Our Corporate Name
Again, make sure to contact us in order to obtain our corporate name. Do not list "VirtualPostMail," which is a brand. The state will reject your form if you use the wrong name or a name that is not registered.
