This contact is considered to be the authorized communications contact and/or custodian of records for your entity. Official notices from the state (such as annual reports and tax notices) are forwarded to the tax contact via email and regular mail.
Under the laws of many states, the communications contact and/or custodian of records are considered to be a liaison with the entity. In Delaware and several other states, certain entities are required by statute to provide their registered agent the name, business address, and business telephone number of a natural person designated as the “communications contact” for the entity. In other states, like Nevada, certain entities are required to provide their registered agent with the name, business address, and business telephone number of a natural person designated as the entity’s custodian of records. The laws also require the entities to keep this information updated. If an entity fails to provide this information, the registered agent may resign.
Additionally, Delaware now requires limited liability companies and limited partnerships to maintain a current record of the name and address of each member, manager, or partner. Upon receipt of a request by the “communications contact,” limited liability companies and limited partnerships are required to provide the name, business address, and business telephone number of a natural person who has access to a current record that identifies the name and last known business, residence, or mailing address of each member, manager, or partner.
