Except as provided in s. 165.68 (5) (f) 1., the registered agent of a limited liability company or registered foreign limited liability company shall be any of the following:
(a) A natural person who resides in this state and whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(b) A domestic corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(c) A foreign corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or registered limited liability partnership if that entity is authorized to transact business in this state and the entity's business office is identical with the registered office.
(2) A registered agent for a limited liability company or registered foreign limited liability company must have an e-mail address and a place of business or activity in this state.
(3) The only duties under this chapter of a registered agent that has complied with this chapter are the following:
(a) To forward to the limited liability company or registered foreign limited liability company at the address most recently supplied to the agent by the company or foreign company any process, notice, or demand pertaining to the company or foreign company which is served on or received by the agent.
(b) If the registered agent resigns, to provide the notice required by s. 183.0117 (3) to the company or foreign company at the address most recently supplied to the agent by the company or foreign company.
(c) To keep current the information with respect to the agent in the articles of organization or foreign registration statement.
