Unlike New Mexico which actually requires that an officer of the |
21 |
corporation hold state residency Delaware only requires that a |
22 |
"Registered Agent" hold residency in the state, and hold the same |
23 |
address as that listed in the articles of incorporation. The legal |
24 |
requirements to be a Registered Agent in Delaware are to maintain a |
25 |
street address and office located in Delaware and be open during normal |
26 |
business hours for the purpose of accepting service of process according |
27 |
to 8 DEL.C. ยง 132. Basically they need to be able to present the |
28 |
articles of incorporation for inspection uppon request. This is |
29 |
consistent with other corporate friendly states such as Nevada and |
30 |
Tennessee. |

The fees are lowest in Delaware for this service, it was something like |
35 |
an initial $500 for registration and then a $150 annual renewal. |
