In order to procure the certificate, the foreign corporation shall file with the secretary of state an application for withdrawal, on forms prescribed by the secretary of state, together with the fees provided in section 10-19.1-147, which must set forth:

a. The name of the corporation and the state or country under the laws of which it is incorporated;

b. That the corporation is not transacting business in this state;

c. That the corporation surrenders its authority to transact business in this state;

d. That service of process in any action, suit, or proceeding based upon any cause of action arising in this state during the time the corporation was authorized to transact business in this state may thereafter be made on such corporation as provided in section 10-01.1-13;

e. A post-office address to which a person may mail a copy of any process against the corporation; and

f. Any additional information necessary or appropriate to enable the secretary of state to determine and assess any unpaid fees payable by the foreign corporation.

2. The filing with the secretary of state of a certificate of dissolution, or a certificate of merger if the corporation is not the surviving organization, from the proper officer of the state or country under the laws of which the corporation is incorporated constitutes a valid application of withdrawal and the authority of the corporation to transact business in this state shall cease upon filing of the certificate.
