Before using any power this chapter grants, the corporation must register an agent in each state. It files that agent's name and address with each state's secretary of state. People can then use that agent to serve legal papers on the corporation.

This section sets a condition the corporation must meet before it can use any power or privilege this chapter gives it. The corporation must file, with the secretary of state or other designated official in each State, the name and address of an agent located in that State. That agent is the person on whom legal process — such as a lawsuit — or other legal demands against the corporation can be served.
