Registered Address Service
A registered address in every state and country you operate.
Every entity needs a registered address: a statutory office in the jurisdiction where legal and government documents are received. Commenda provides the address, scans the mail the day it arrives, and covers the registered agent duty in US states.
Trusted by global businesses
The smallest line item
with the biggest failure mode.
A registered address is a statutory requirement in every jurisdiction: US states call it a registered agent, most other countries a registered office. Most companies buy it once at incorporation, forget who the provider is, and discover the arrangement failed when a lawsuit goes unanswered or the state revokes good standing.
Mail nobody reads
Bulk providers receive your government mail and let it sit. A tax notice or annual report reminder arriving on paper, in another state, is a deadline you learn about late or never.
Service of process with no owner
When a lawsuit is served at your registered address, the response clock starts. If the notice doesn't reach your legal owner quickly, you can lose a case you never knew existed.
One provider per jurisdiction
Each new state and country means another address provider, another renewal date, another invoice. Nobody tracks the sprawl, and a single lapsed renewal costs an entity its good standing.
What you get
What the service includes.
A registered office address
A physical address in the jurisdiction that satisfies the statutory requirement, staffed during business hours to receive legal and government documents on your entity's behalf. In US states, the registered agent duty is covered as part of it.
Same-day digital mail forwarding
We receive government and registry mail, scan it, and forward it digitally the day it arrives. Nothing sits in a mailbox in another state or country.
Service of process, handled
When legal documents are served, we receive them, scan them, and forward them to your designated legal contact the same business day, with confirmation of delivery.
Annual report and statutory reminders
Annual report, franchise tax, and statutory notice dates sit on the same compliance calendar as the rest of your filings, with reminders before each due date.
US states and international coverage
One provider across all US states and the international jurisdictions where your entities live, instead of a different address provider, renewal date, and invoice in each.
Address-of-record changes, filed for you
Switching providers? We prepare and file the change of registered address (the change of agent, in US states) with each registry and confirm when the record updates. You send one cancellation email; we do the rest.
How it works
Switched or set up
in days, not weeks.
Same workflow whether the address is set at incorporation or replaces a provider on an existing entity.
Step 01
List your entities
Tell us the entities and jurisdictions. We confirm the requirement in each and return a quote upfront, per entity, per jurisdiction.
Step 02
We file the address of record
For existing entities, we prepare and file the change of registered address (the change of agent, in US states) with each registry. For new entities, the address is included in the incorporation workflow.
Step 03
Mail starts flowing
From the effective date, government mail and service of process arrive at our address, get scanned, and land in your document vault the same day.
Step 04
Deadlines on the calendar
Annual reports, renewals, and statutory notices are tracked on the platform, with reminders before each due date and confirmations when filings complete.
A mailbox,
or a system.
A registered address that only receives mail does half the job. The notices it receives are deadlines, and deadlines belong on a compliance calendar, not in a scanned PDF nobody opens.
A bulk provider or law firm address
An address that receives and forgets.
- Paper mail scanned weekly, or never
- Service of process sits in a queue
- A different provider in every jurisdiction
- Renewals tracked in nobody's calendar
- No link between a notice and the filing it triggers
- Change-of-address paperwork left to you

Where it fits
The front door to
your compliance.
The registered address receives the notices; the Compliance Calendar turns them into tracked, filed obligations. Most customers run both on the Commenda platform, or hand the whole engine over with a Fully Managed Entity. Either way, the address, the mail, and the compliance calendar live in one place.
Common questions
A registered address is the statutory office address on file with the registry: a physical address in the jurisdiction, staffed during business hours, where service of process and official government mail are received on your entity's behalf. Every entity needs one in its jurisdiction of formation and everywhere it is registered to do business. In US states the requirement takes the form of a registered agent; most other countries call it a registered office.
Yes. We prepare and file the change of registered address (the change of agent, in US states) with each registry, the change takes effect when the registry accepts it, and the confirmation lands on the platform. You cancel the old provider once the new record is on file. We handle the filings; you handle one cancellation email.
We receive it at the registered address, scan it, and forward it digitally to your designated legal contact the same business day, then confirm delivery. The physical original follows by mail on request. The point is simple: the response clock never runs without your knowledge.
Yes. Commenda supports entities in 70+ countries. Where local law requires a registered office or process agent, we provide the address as part of the engagement. In US states, the registered agent duty is covered as part of the service. We confirm coverage for your specific jurisdictions when we quote.
No. The registered address exists to satisfy the statutory requirement and to receive government mail and legal notices. It is not a place of business or a general mail-handling service. If you need a commercial business address, that is a virtual office, which Commenda arranges during incorporation where needed.
If your provider resigns or the renewal lapses, the entity loses its registered address of record. Registries treat that as a compliance failure: good standing is revoked, and in many US states the entity can be administratively dissolved. Commenda tracks every renewal on the same platform as your other filings, so the address never quietly expires.
