Official statutory text
10-01.1-06. Listing of commercial registered agent
1. An individual residing in this state or a domestic or foreign corporation or limited
liability company may become listed as a commercial registered agent by filing with
the secretary of state a commercial registered agent listing statement signed by or on
behalf of the person which states:
a. The name of the individual or the name, type, and jurisdiction of organization of
the entity;
b. That the person is in the business of serving as a commercial registered agent in
this state; and
c. The address of a place of business of the person in this state to which service of
process and other notice and documents being served on or sent to entities
represented by it may be delivered.
2. An individual residing in this state or a domestic or foreign corporation or limited
liability company may file additional listings as a commercial registered agent if filed
with trade names registered under chapter 47-25. The filing must be in the same
manner as provided in subsection 1 and disclose the trade name being used. A listing
with a trade name may provide an alternate address of a place of business of the
person in this state to which service of process and other notice and documents being
served on or sent to entities represented by it may be delivered.
3. If the name of a person filing a commercial registered agent listing statement is not
distinguishable on the records of the secretary of state from the name of another
commercial registered agent listed under this section, the person must adopt and
register a trade name that is so distinguishable and use that name in its statement and
when it does business in this state as a commercial registered agent.
4. A commercial registered agent listing statement takes effect on filing.
5. The secretary of state shall note the filing of the commercial registered agent listing
statement in the record of the represented entity and in the index of filings maintained
by the secretary of state 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.
6. The secretary of state may make minor modifications to the name of a registered
agent in a previously filed record in order to cause the modified name to be consistent
with the correct name of a proposed commercial registered agent when it can be
concluded from the previously filed record that the name of the proposed commercial
registered agent was intended.
