Maldives Business Registration

Process Agent

In the Maldives, process agent services (also known as a registered agent) are often required by foreign companies when they register a branch of their foreign entity. A process agent serves as a point of contact in the Maldives for receiving legal notices, court documents, or other official communications.

Typical Responsibilities of a Process Agent:

1. Receiving Legal Documents:

• The process agent is responsible for accepting legal documents on behalf of the branch.
2. Forwarding Documents:

• Once legal documents are received, the process agent promptly forwards them to the main or parent company.
3. Compliance with Local Laws:

• The process agent ensures that the company remains compliant with the requirements for branch registration as per Maldivian law.

This service is crucial for ensuring that companies are able to respond to legal actions or official notices in a timely manner, which helps protect their interests in the Maldives.
