[§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]
