425R-5 Listing of commercial registered agent.
[§425R-5] Listing of commercial registered agent. (a) An individual or a domestic or foreign entity may become listed as a commercial registered agent by filing with the director a certified commercial registered agent listing statement signed by or on behalf of the person that states:
(1) The name of the individual or the name, type, and jurisdiction of organization of the entity;
(2) That the person is in the business of serving as a commercial registered agent in the State; and
(3) The address of a place of business of the person in the State to which service of process and other notice and documents being served on or sent to entities represented by it may be delivered.
(b) The name of a person filing a commercial registered agent listing statement shall comport with the requirements of section 414-51, 414D-61, 415A-8, 425-6, 425E-108, or 428-105, whichever is applicable. If the name of a foreign entity or individual is substantially identical to another name in the business registry, the person shall adopt a fictitious name that is not substantially identical and deliver to the director for filing a copy of a certificate of registration of a trade name and use that name in its statement and when it does business in the State as a commercial registered agent.
(c) A commercial registered agent listing statement takes effect on filing.
(d) The director shall note the filing of the commercial registered agent listing statement in the business registry maintained by the director for each entity represented by the registered agent at the time of the filing. The statement has the effect of deleting the address of the registered agent from the registered agent filing of each of those entities. [L 2009, c 55, pt of §1]
