2023 Nevada Revised Statutes › Chapter 77 - Model Registered Agents Act › NRS 77.320 - Registration of commercial registered agent.

1. An individual or a domestic or foreign entity shall not serve as the registered agent in this State of 10 or more domestic or foreign entities unless the individual or domestic or foreign entity is registered as a commercial registered agent pursuant to this section.
2. An individual or a domestic or foreign entity may become registered as a commercial registered agent by filing with the Secretary of State a commercial registered agent registration statement on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State signed under penalty of perjury by the individual or by an individual authorized to sign the statement on behalf of the entity, which states:
(a) The legal name of the individual or the legal name, type and jurisdiction of organization of the entity;
(b) That the person is in the business of serving as a commercial registered agent in this State;
(c) The address of a place of business of the person in this State to which service of process and other notice and documents being served on or sent to entities represented by it may be delivered;
(d) The name, address and telephone number of the individual who has the authority to act on behalf of the commercial registered agent;
(e) If the person filing the statement is an individual, that the individual:
(1) Has not been convicted of a felony or, if the individual has been convicted of a felony, a statement that the individual has had his or her civil rights restored; and
(2) Has not had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has not been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent that was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public;
(f) If the person filing the statement is a domestic or foreign entity, that each director, officer or managing agent of the entity:
(1) Has not been convicted of a felony or, if a director, officer or managing agent has been convicted of a felony, a statement that the individual has had his or her civil rights restored; and
(2) Has not had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has not been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent, or as a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, that was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public; and
(g) Any other information the Secretary of State deems appropriate.
3. If the name of a person filing a commercial registered agent registration statement is not distinguishable on the records of the Secretary of State from the name of another commercial registered agent registered under this section, the person must adopt a fictitious name that is distinguishable and use that name in its statement and when it does business in this State as a commercial registered agent. For the purposes of this subsection, a proposed name is not distinguishable from another name solely because one or the other contains distinctive lettering, a distinctive mark, a trademark or a trade name or any combination of these. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations that interpret the requirements of this subsection.
4. A commercial registered agent registration statement takes effect on filing.
5. The Secretary of State shall note the filing of the commercial registered agent registration statement in the index of filings maintained by the Secretary of State for each entity represented by the registered agent at the time of the filing. The statement has the effect of deleting the address of the registered agent from the registered agent filing of each of those entities.
6. The Secretary of State may deny registration as a commercial registered agent or revoke the registration of a commercial registered agent if the person filing the registration statement or the commercial registered agent is:
(a) An individual who:
(1) Has been convicted of a felony and has not had his or her civil rights restored; or
(2) Has had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent that was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public; or
(b) A domestic or foreign entity, and a director, officer or managing agent of the entity:
(1) Has been convicted of a felony and the individual has not had his or her civil rights restored; or
(2) Has had his or her ability to serve as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent denied or revoked by the appropriate authority of this State or another state, or has been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction from serving as a registered agent or a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, because the individual has engaged in conduct in his or her capacity as a registered agent, or as a director, officer or managing agent of a registered agent, that was intended to or likely to deceive or defraud the public.
