Cogency Global vs CSC and CT Corporation — Sacramento Registered Agents Compared
How Sacramento’s major registered agents compare — locations, hours, and what they represent.
Three Major Sacramento Registered Agents
Sacramento is home to offices for several of California’s most widely used registered agent companies. Three of the most commonly encountered are Cogency Global, CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service, and CT Corporation. Each serves thousands of California entities, but they differ significantly in location, hours, scale, and corporate ownership.
CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service is the trade name of Corporation Service Company. Their Sacramento office is at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, near Interstate 80. They accept service Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM — the earliest closing time of the three.
CT Corporation is a subsidiary of Wolters Kluwer. Their Sacramento office is at 555 Capitol Mall, Suite 1150, downtown. They accept service Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. CT is one of the two largest national registered agents, along with CSC.
Cogency Global is an independent registered agent founded in 1980, not part of a larger conglomerate. Their Sacramento office is at 1325 J Street, Suite 1550, also downtown. They accept service Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Cogency represents a broad mix of corporations, particularly publicly traded and multi-state businesses.
