# Adding Your Registered Agent

Set up automatic registered agent notifications for share issuances, transfers, and conversions in Cake.

**Note:** This feature is available for Australian companies only.

Cake can automatically notify your registered agent whenever you make share issuances, transfers, or conversions.

## Set up registered agent notifications

1. Go to **Settings** in the main menu.

2. Click **Edit** in the top right corner.

3. Enter your registered agent's **Name** and **Email**.

4. Click **Save**.

Once saved, Cake will send your agent an update for any share issuances, transfers, and conversions you make each business day.

## What's covered, and what isn't

Automatic notifications cover:

* Share issuances

* Share transfers

* Share conversions

**Not covered by automatic notifications:**

* Buy-backs and share splits, notify your agent manually after these

* Changes to shareholder details (e.g. registered address)

* Board member changes

Always contact your registered agent after making cap table changes to confirm they have everything they need for compliance.

## Tip: Give your agent advisor access

Consider inviting your registered agent as an **advisor** on your Cake account. This gives them direct visibility into your cap table and can reduce back-and-forth significantly.

See **Give An Advisor Access** for how to set this up.
