What is Service of Process (SOP)?
A. Service of Process (SOP), also sometimes called notice of litigation, is the legal term for the delivery of copies of legal documents such as summons, complaints, subpoenas, orders to show cause, writs, notices to quit the premises and certain other documents. As your registered agent, BizFilings accepts these legal notices on your behalf. Additionally, many states send taxation documents, annual reports and other important state mail to the registered agent. BizFilings logs this mail and forwards it to you.
