- Does District of Columbia require a registered agent?
- Yes. Every LLC and corporation formed or registered in District of Columbia must continuously maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state, available during business hours. The requirement is administered by the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection.
- Can I be my own registered agent in District of Columbia?
- District of Columbia allows it if you have a physical street address in the state and can be there during all business hours — but your address becomes public record, and missing a lawsuit delivery can produce a default judgment. Most owners use a service for privacy and reliability.
- What happens if my District of Columbia business has no registered agent?
- The DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection can revoke your good standing and administratively dissolve the entity. Reinstatement costs more than years of agent service, and you can lose a lawsuit without ever knowing it was filed.
