§ 77.320. Registration of commercial registered agent

1. An individual or a domestic or foreign entity shall not serve as the registered

agent in this State of 10 or more domestic or foreign entities unless the individual

or domestic or foreign entity is registered as a commercial registered agent pursuant

to this section. 2. An individual or a domestic or foreign entity may become registered as a commercial

registered agent by filing with the Secretary of State a commercial registered agent

registration statement on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State signed under

penalty of perjury by the individual or by an individual authorized to sign the statement

on behalf of the entity, which states: (a) The legal name of the individual or the legal 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; (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; (d) The name, address and telephone number of the individual who has the authority

to act on behalf of the commercial registered agent; (e) If the person filing the statement is an individual, that the individual: (1) Has not been convicted of a felony or, if the individual has been convicted of

a felony, a statement that the individual has had his or her civil rights restored;

and (2) Has not had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent denied or revoked

by the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has not been enjoined

by a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent, because the

individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent that

was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public; (f) If the person filing the statement is a domestic or foreign entity, that each

director, officer or managing agent of the entity: (1) Has not been convicted of a felony or, if a director, officer or managing agent

has been convicted of a felony, a statement that the individual has had his or her

civil rights restored; and (2) Has not had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent or a director, officer

or managing agent of a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority

of this State or another state, or has not been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction

from serving as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered

agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered

agent, or as a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, that was

intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public; and (g) Any other information the Secretary of State deems appropriate. 3. If the name of a person filing a commercial registered agent registration statement

is not distinguishable on the records of the Secretary of State from the name of another

commercial registered agent registered under this section, the person must adopt a

fictitious name that is distinguishable and use that name in its statement and when

it does business in this State as a commercial registered agent. For the purposes of this subsection, a proposed name is not distinguishable from

another name solely because one or the other contains distinctive lettering, a distinctive

mark, a trademark or a trade name or any combination of these. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations that interpret the requirements of

this subsection. 4. A commercial registered agent registration statement takes effect on filing. 5. The Secretary of State shall note the filing of the commercial registered agent

registration statement 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 deny registration as a commercial registered agent or

revoke the registration of a commercial registered agent if the person filing the

registration statement or the commercial registered agent is: (a) An individual who: (1) Has been convicted of a felony and has not had his or her civil rights restored;

or (2) Has had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent denied or revoked by

the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has been enjoined by

a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent, because the

individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent that

was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public; or (b) A domestic or foreign entity, and a director, officer or managing agent of the

entity: (1) Has been convicted of a felony and the individual has not had his or her civil

rights restored; or (2) Has had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent or a director, officer

or managing agent of a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority

of this State or another state, or has been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction

from serving as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered

agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered

agent, or as a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, that was

intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public.
