PA registered agent
Registered agent service in Pennsylvania, $37 per year, within tolerance
Pennsylvania expects each company on its register to keep a registered agent at a street address inside the state. The expectation is set out below in the state's own language. Our performance against it is rated further down. The rating has been consistent.
The Pennsylvania annual report, an average obligation

Delivery of papers when the desk is unattended
Pennsylvania keeps its rule for serving a company with an absent agent in another part of the code. We reviewed the table of contents and found it adequate.

Return to good standing, priced
incFACTS carries no verified figure for returning a Pennsylvania company to good standing at present. We have not requested one. A request would be above average.
