REGISTERED AGENT IN STATE; RESIDENT AGENT
B. Every foreign corporation transacting business in this state shall have and maintain the Secretary of State as its registered agent in this state. In addition, such foreign corporation may have and maintain in this state an additional registered agent, which may be an individual or entity set forth in subsection A of this section; provided, that the foreign corporation may not be its own registered agent. If such additional registered agent is designated, service of process shall be on such agent and not on the Secretary of State.
D. Every corporation formed under the laws of this state or qualified to do business in this state shall provide to its registered agent, and update from time to time as necessary, the name, business address and business telephone number of a natural person who is an officer, director, employee or designated agent of the corporation, who is then authorized to receive communications from the registered agent. Such person shall be deemed the communications contact for the corporation. Every registered agent shall retain, in paper or electronic form, the information required by this subsection concerning the current communications contact for each corporation for which he, she or it serves as a registered agent. If the corporation fails to provide the registered agent with a current communications contact, the registered agent may resign as the registered agent for such corporation pursuant to Section 1026 of this title.
E. Whenever the term “resident agent” or “resident agent in charge of a corporation's principal office or place of business in this state”, or other term of like import which refers to a corporation's agent required by statute to be located in this state, is or has been used in a corporation's certificate of incorporation, or in any other document, or in any statute, it shall be deemed to mean and refer to, unless the context indicates otherwise, the corporation's registered agent required by this section. It shall not be necessary for any corporation to amend its certificate of incorporation or any other document to comply with the provisions of this section.
