PA registered agent
Pennsylvania. $7 a year. Shallow end.
The rule is at the bottom of this page. We start with the bill, because that is the part that gets wet first. Every Pennsylvania company names an agent with a real address in the state. We have the address. We keep a bowl at it.
The bill to climb back out
incFACTS has not verified a Pennsylvania reinstatement fee yet. We waded in without checking.
The summons, and where it goes instead
Pennsylvania keeps its fallback service rule somewhere deeper than we go.
How Pennsylvania drains a company like yours
The state's own remedies for an agent that is furniture. Quoted. We added nothing, which is our specialty.
