Delaware registration service
<p>Is a corporate registration service located in Delaware compelled to reveal the identity of one of its customers upon my request?</p>

<p>I am trying to track down <em>anybody</em> from a particular company that is registered in Delaware under the name of a corporate registration service. I have had no luck by any other means, so I've considered calling the service and just asking. Can I expect success?</p>

<p>The <em>most</em> they can possibly give you are forwarding addresses and contact information for an entity they represent.</p>

<p>One of the functions of a corporation is to shield the identity of owners.  If an owner specifically does <em>not</em> want to be found then you're not going to find that person through its registered agent.</p>

<p>However, there's no law against asking.  At the very least you could ask the registered agent to forward a message asking that you be contacted.  Though, AFAIK, they can't be <em>required</em> to forward anything but legal notices.</p>

<p>No private party is going to be <strong><em>compelled</em></strong> to do anything upon a simple <strong><em>request</em></strong> by another private party unless they agreed to do that thing in advance. Since they have no relationship with you, that's unlikely.</p>

<p><strong><em>Will</em></strong> they? Probably not. But like you said, it's worth a shot.</p>

<p>If you want to compel them, you might need to serve them with a <strong><em>subpoena</em></strong> pursuant to a law suit.</p>
