Massachusetts Registered Agents and Delivery of Court Papers
Updated: 1 day ago
Learn what a registered agent does and what to provide when requesting Boston service of legal papers on an entity or its agent.
When a business is the defendant
Find the exact entity name in the case and compare it with the company and agent details available from the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The court rules and counsel’s instructions guide how service may proceed and whether any further notice applies.
Request service of legal papers
Send the papers, agent address or last known company address, and the deadline. Tell us if the case papers use a different name from the record you found. We review the assignment and confirm appointment or dispatch timing and proof requirements when we accept it.
Trucking and other regulated businesses
If the matter names a carrier, provide its legal name, identifying details relevant to the service instructions, and the address counsel wants reviewed. For a BOC-3 designation or filing, check federal registration instructions and the agency’s process agent directory.
