You do use them. More exactly, Your offshore company does. Apart from lending his office address to be used as the legal address of Your IBC, the Registered Agent is also legally responsible for safe custody and update of certain corporate documents – namely, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the IBC, the Register of Members or a copy thereof, the Register of Directors or a copy thereof, copies of all Resolutions, notices and filings produced by the company during its course of existence. Furthermore, unless the directors of the company have resolved otherwise, the Registered Agent is also the custodian for all Minutes of the meetings and Resolutions of Shareholders, and all Minutes of meetings and Resolutions of Directors. It is the duty of the Registered Agent to keep these documents up-to-date and available for inspection by the directors, shareholders and owners of the IBC. Finally, the Registered Agent acts as the official intermediary between the offshore company and the Seychelles Government, in particular what concerns timely payment of the Government renewal taxes. All in all, the Registered Agent performs several important legal functions, without which the IBC would not be able to legally exist.
