New York Registered Agent Service by Harbor Compliance
If you want official correspondence delivered as swiftly as possible, Harbor Compliance has a solution. Our Registered Agent Service combines extensive
industry know-how with an efficient system to ensure you have ample time to respond to legal action—here’s how it works:
- We receive your notice at our local office in Albany.
- We process the notice and send it electronically on the same day.
- You get an email with a link to a secure Client Portal where you can access the notice.
We also implement an additional precaution you don’t get with the secretary of state—a phone call in case of a lawsuit notice.
With Harbor Compliance, you can start preparing your defense from day one.
Besides the Registered Agent Service, we offer a wide array of services designed to help you fulfill your statutory obligations.
We can support your organization throughout its lifecycle in many ways, such as:
If you’re establishing a nonprofit, we can handle the charitable registration or incorporation process, helping you kickstart your fundraising efforts.
We can also secure your 501(c) tax exemption and provide various tax-related services, including:
For efficient communication with the department of state, we offer services like drop-off filing and retrieval of certified copies,
certificates of good standing or authority, and articles of reinstatement, among other documents.
Individual NY Registered Agent vs. Harbor Compliance
Appointing a registered agent besides the secretary of state only makes sense if they can ensure your notices reach you without delays.
This may not be the case with an individual agent, who may miss the notice due to personal commitments, travel, emergencies, and other unforeseen circumstances.
You won’t be exposed to such risks if you partner with Harbor Compliance. The main advantages of doing so include:
- Reliability—Our staff is available at the Albany office at all times during business hours, eliminating the possibility of missed notices.
- Privacy assurance—Our name and address are given to the department of state, which keeps your information from entering the public record.
- Discreet and convenient notice management—All legal notices are delivered to the Client Portal, so you can manage them from anywhere and keep the details on a need-to-know basis.
- High-end security—Your data is safeguarded with advanced measures like data encryption and cloud monitoring, providing a higher level of security compared to a typical individual agent.
- Nationwide presence—As your organization grows, you can appoint Harbor Compliance in all jurisdictions you operate in and leverage our local offices across the U.S.
