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

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