Model Registered Agents Act
Nevada · Model Registered Agents Act · §§ 77.010 to 77.460 · 49 sections
Overview
This act governs the registered agents through which business and other organizations receive service of process and official notices, covering domestic entities, foreign entities qualified to do business, and entities that have made no filing with the state. It creates a two-track framework distinguishing commercial registered agents, who register directly with the filing office and may be designated by any number of entities, from noncommercial registered agents appointed by a single represented entity, and sets out the procedures for appointing an agent, changing an agent's name or address, resigning, and terminating or cancelling a registration. It also standardizes the mechanics of the filings themselves — required forms, fees, and address information — and specifies how process may be served on a represented entity, including where no registered agent is available.
