There is only one stipulation. For your Delaware LLC, you must appoint and maintain a registered representative/agent.

The agent might be a person or a company, but it must be based in Delaware. A registered agent serves as a point of contact for your LLC. On behalf of your LLC, the agent will receive tax notifications and other legal paperwork.

You don't have to be concerned if you want to use an incorporation service for your Delaware registration. Almost every service provider is involved.

3. Register your LLC in Delaware


Obtain a Delaware EIN for your limited liability company


Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Federal Tax Identification Number (FTIN) (Federal Tax Identification Number). For both entity and tax reasons, consider of this number as the identity for your Delaware LLC.

You can delegate the registration of your EIN to your LLC's agent. You can register online at the IRS website or by mailing in a completed Form SS-4. You could also do it on your own, but it would take a long time.


Submit an application for additional licences and permits


In the United States, several sectors demand supplementary licences and permissions. Different licences and permissions are managed by three levels of government: federal, state, and municipal.


Create a Delaware Operating Agreement for your LLC


The corporate structure, general principles, administration, and operation of an LLC are all spelled out in a Delaware Operating Agreement. A written or oral agreement can be reached. This paper does not need to be filed with any Delaware department.
