# Retrieve registered agent service

> > **⚠️ Early access** — This endpoint is in preview and may change in backwards-incompatible ways before it is marked stable. Avoid depending on it in production, and [reach out](mailto:support@getpalm.com) before building on it.

Returns the current snapshot of the registered agent service on a business — provider, status, jurisdiction, and the current service window. Returns 404 when Palm has never been the registered agent for the business; once the service has ended it returns 200 with `status: terminated` — letting you tell "not your registered agent" apart from "service ended".
