Chapter 29 - REVISED MISSISSIPPI LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY ACT
Article 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 79-29-113 - Registered office and registered agent [Repealed effective January 1, 2013]

(1) Each limited liability company must continuously maintain in this state:

(a) A registered office which may be the same as any of its places of business; and

(b) A registered agent for service of process on the limited liability company, which agent must be either an individual resident of this state, a domestic corporation, nonprofit corporation or limited liability company or a foreign corporation, nonprofit corporation or limited liability company authorized to transact business in this state, in each case whose business office is identical with the registered office.

(2) A limited liability company may change its registered office or registered agent by delivering to the Office of the Secretary of State for filing a certificate that sets forth:

(a) The name of the limited liability company;

(b) The street address of its current registered office;

(c) If the current registered office is to be changed, the street address of the new registered office;

(d) The name of its current registered agent;

(e) If the current registered agent is to be changed, the name of the new registered agent and the new agent's written consent, either on the certificate or a statement attached to it, to the appointment; and

f) That after the change or changes are made, the street addresses of its registered office and the business office of its registered agent will be identical.

(3) A registered agent may change its address to another address in this state by delivering to the Office of the Secretary of State for filing a certificate, signed by the registered agent, setting forth: (a) the names of all the limited liability companies represented by the registered agent, (b) the address at which the registered agent has maintained its office for each of such limited liability companies, and (c) its new address which the registered agent will thereafter maintain for each of the limited liability companies recited in the certificate.

Upon filing this certificate, the Secretary of State will deliver to the registered agent a certified copy of the same and thereafter, or until further change of address, as authorized by law, the registered office of each of the limited liability companies recited in the certificate shall be located at the new address of the registered agent as given in the certificate. The filing by the Secretary of State of the certificate shall be deemed to be an amendment of the certificate of formation of each limited liability company affected thereby. Any registered agent delivering a certificate to the Office of the Secretary of State under this section shall promptly, upon filing by the Secretary of State, deliver a copy of any such certificate to each limited liability company affected thereby.

(4) The registered agent of one or more limited liability companies may resign its agency appointment by delivering a certificate to the Office of the Secretary of State for filing stating that it resigns as registered agent for the limited liability companies identified in the certificate, but the resignation shall not become effective until ninety (90) days after the certificate is filed by the Secretary of State. There shall be attached to the certificate an affidavit of the registered agent that at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of the certificate notices were sent by certified or registered mail to each limited liability company for which the registered agent is resigning as registered agent of the resignation of the registered agent. This notice shall be delivered to the last known principal office of each limited liability company identified in the certificate. After receipt of the notice of resignation of its registered agent, the limited liability company for which the registered agent was acting shall obtain and designate a new registered agent. After the resignation of the registered agent has become effective, if the limited liability company fails to obtain and designate a new registered agent, service of legal process against the limited liability company for which the resigned registered agent had been acting shall thereafter be upon the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 79-29-125(2).
