§ 77.380. Appointment of agent by nonfiling entity or nonqualified foreign entity
1. A domestic entity that is not a filing entity or a nonqualified foreign entity
may file with the Secretary of State a statement appointing an agent for service of
process signed on behalf of the entity which includes, without limitation: (a) The name, type and jurisdiction of organization of the entity; and (b) The information required pursuant to NRS 77.310 . 2. A statement appointing an agent for service of process takes effect on filing. 3. The appointment of a registered agent under this section does not qualify a nonqualified
foreign entity to do business in this State and is not sufficient alone to create
personal jurisdiction over the nonqualified foreign entity in this State. 4. A statement appointing an agent for service of process may not be rejected for
filing because the name of the entity filing the statement is not distinguishable
on the records of the Secretary of State from the name of another entity appearing
in those records. The filing of a statement appointing an agent for service of process does not make
the name of the entity filing the statement unavailable for use by another entity. 5. An entity that has filed a statement appointing an agent for service of process
may cancel the statement by filing a statement of cancellation, which shall take effect
upon filing, and must state the name of the entity and that the entity is cancelling
its appointment of an agent for service of process in this State. A statement appointing an agent for service of process, which has not been cancelled
earlier, is effective for a period of 5 years after the date of filing. 6. A statement appointing an agent for service of process for a nonqualified foreign
entity terminates automatically on the date the entity becomes a qualified foreign
entity.
