Agent for Service of Process in California
California filing forms use the term “agent for service of process.” It is the person or corporate agent appointed to receive legal papers and certain official notices for a business. ZworkSpace is an approved California corporate registered agent in Fullerton, with service starting at $100 per year.
The short answer
The agent is your listed California contact for official legal papers.
The role is about reliably receiving service of process and agency correspondence at a physical California address. It is not the same thing as a general business mailing address or a virtual office membership.
At ZworkSpace, official items are received at 1303 W Valencia Dr, Fullerton, CA 92833. We text the member when an item arrives and hold it for in-person pickup. Confirm the current filing requirement for your entity with the California Secretary of State or a legal professional.
