Change of name, address, or type of organization by commercial registered agent. (a) If a commercial registered agent changes its name, email address, its address as currently listed under Section 79-35-6(a), or its type or jurisdiction of organization, the agent shall file with the Secretary of State a statement of change signed by or on behalf of the agent which states:

(1) The name of the agent as currently listed under Section 79-35-6(a);

(2) If the name of the agent has changed, its new name;

(3) If the address of the agent has changed, the new address;

(4) If the type or jurisdiction of organization of the agent has changed, the new type or jurisdiction of organization; and

(5) If the email address of the agent has changed, the new email address.

(b) The filing of a statement of change under subsection (a) of this section is effective to change the information regarding the commercial registered agent with respect to each entity represented by the agent.

(c) A statement of change filed under this section takes effect on filing.

(d) A commercial registered agent shall promptly furnish each entity represented by it with notice in a record of the filing of a statement of change relating to the name, email address or address of the agent and the changes made by the filing.

(e) If a commercial registered agent changes its address without filing a statement of change as required by this section, the Secretary of State may cancel the listing of the agent under Section 79-35-6. A cancellation under this subsection has the same effect as a termination under Section 79-35-7. Promptly after canceling the listing of an agent, the Secretary of State shall serve notice in a record in the manner provided in Section 79-35-13(b) or (c) on:

(1) Each entity represented by the agent, stating that the agent has ceased to be an agent for service of process on the entity and that, until the entity appoints a new commercial registered agent, service of process may be made on the entity as provided in Section 79-35-13; and

(2) The agent, stating that the listing of the agent has been canceled under this section.
