+ How much does it cost for registered office services?

$95 per year per entity for PA registered office services.

+ How do I signup with you?

Complete the online Order Form at the bottom of this page or Signup Online here.

+ How do I fill out my formation paperwork to designate you as my registered agent?

In the address section of the form, you are asked to complete either Part (a) or Part (b) but not both.

After you sign up with us online, complete Part (b) by listing the "Name of Commercial Registered Office Provider" as Clarion Service Company and the "County" should be marked Chester.

This is usually found in Section 2(b) of either:

• the Articles of Incorporation (if you are forming a corporation or non-profit corporation),
• the Certificate of Organization (if you are forming an LLC), or
• the Certificate of Limited Partnership (if you are forming a Limited Partnership).

For examples, see this article.

+ What is Clarion Service Company?

Clarion Service Company is an affiliate of Clarion Law, LLC. It is under common ownership with Clarion Law, but it is a separate company.

+ What states do you provide registered address services in?

Pennsylvania only.

+ Am I legally required to have a Commercial Registered Office Provider?

No. Pennsylvania requires an entity like a corporation or LLC to have either

(1) a commercial registered office provider (“C.R.O.P.“), or

(2) a registered office in Pennsylvania (which must be a physical address, not a P.O. Box).

You are not obligated to use a C.R.O.P., but many companies choose to do so for enhanced privacy or because they do not have their own Pennsylvania address.

+ Does Pennsylvania use registered agents?

No, not exactly. The Pennsylvania Department of State requires a registered office address, but not a registered agent.

Service of Process may be sent to the registered address of the entity that appears on the PA Department of State’s records.

Clarion Service Company can serve as your PA Commercial Registered Office Provider (“C.R.O.P.”)

+ How do I contact you?

PO Box 3169, West Chester, PA 19381-3169

+ What happens when there is Service of Process?

We will promptly send the documents to you, usually electronically.

+ Can I terminate my service?

Yes. To do so, complete this Termination Form and email it to csc@clarionlaw.net to request termination of registered office services for your organization. You will need to file a Change of Registered Office Form with the PA Department of State before your termination can be processed and completed.

After termination, Clarion Service Company is not responsible for matters submitted to the registered office in the name of your organization, so if you want to discontinue your registered office service with us, you should immediately file an appropriate form designating an updated registered office address with the PA Department of State.

+ Can I use your name or address without signing up?

No. It is a violation of law to designate us as a registered office provider without engaging our services. We monitor this and take legal action to enforce it.

+ Can I use your address and have my mail sent to you? Is this a mail forwarding service?

No. The service does not allow you to use our address as a mailing or forwarding address.

+ Are you a law firm?

Our affiliate, Clarion Law, LLC, is a law firm. Clarion Service Company is not a law firm, therefore it does not provide legal services. The protection of a client-lawyer relationship does not exist with respect to the provision of nonlegal services.
