As long as you retain the services of a Delaware Registered Agent, you can form a Delaware corporation, LLC, LP, benefit company or non-profit corporation without being a resident of Delaware or the United States.

A Delaware corporation registration number will be issued to your corporation after you have completed the formation process. Your registration number, used to identify your company, will be seven digits.

A certified copy of your Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation can be ordered by fax, mail or in person, but we recommend faxing. Normal processing varies and can take up to 3 weeks, plus additional time for mailing, and costs $50, plus $2 per page.

Although Delaware doesn't tax companies incorporated in the state that don't do business there, your home state will tax your company, so you do not avoid taxation. Filing is more expensive. Delaware's filing fees are significantly higher than other states'. You will pay a franchise tax.

Owners of a newly-incorporated business often wonder if they need a Delaware business address. No, you do not need to have a business address or office in Delaware. All businesses incorporated in Delaware require a Registered Agent with a physical street address in Delaware, such as Agents and Corporations (IncNow®).

The formation process itself is straightforward and streamlined: Choose a company name and entity type. Select and contact a registered agent. Finally, file a Certificate of Incorporation. The Division of Corporations offers professional customer service and expedited services.
