A quick definition of agent for service of process:

An agent for service of process is a person who is chosen by a business to receive legal documents and lawsuits on behalf of the business. This person can be someone who works for the business or a third party, like a lawyer. Every state requires businesses to have an agent for service of process so that they can be notified if they are being sued. This person is also called a "registered agent" or "statutory agent" depending on the state.

A more thorough explanation:

An agent for service of process is a person or entity designated by a business to receive legal documents and lawsuits on behalf of the business within the state in which the agent is located. This person may be an officer of the corporation or a third party, such as the corporation's lawyer.

For example, if a company is sued, the agent for service of process will receive the legal documents and notify the company of the lawsuit. This ensures that the company is aware of the lawsuit and can respond accordingly.

Each state has its own laws regarding business entities and requires them to assign an agent for service of process. This person is also known as a "registered agent" or "statutory agent" depending on the state.
