The Secretary of State is the statutory agent for ***service of process on most business corporations, not-for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships formed in this State (such entities are often referred to as "domestic entities") and for most corporations, not-for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships which were formed in jurisdictions other than this State and which filed applications for authority to do business or conduct activities in this State (such entities are often referred to as "authorized foreign entities")***. These instructions are intended to provide guidance to Process Servers who wish to serve process on the Secretary of State as agent for a domestic or authorized foreign entity.
Please note that the Department of State cannot provide legal advice. Process Servers are encouraged to consult with their own attorneys for advice on any matter discussed in these instructions or regarding any other aspect of service of process.
1. The Process Server must determine the identity of the entity intended to be served.
More than one million domestic and authorized foreign entities are registered with the Department of State ("DOS"). In many cases, the name of the entity intended to be served may be similar to, or even the same as, the name(s) of other entity(ies). The Process Server, and not the DOS, is responsible for identifying precisely which entity is intended to be served.
The Process Server may provide DOS with the presumed name of the entity intended to be served, and request DOS to search its official data base for entities with that name. DOS will provide the Process Server with a list of entities having names that are the same as, or similar to, the name provided by the Process Server. It is the responsibility of the Process Server to determine which entity (if any) on that list is the entity that is intended to be served.
If the actual name of the entity intended to be served differs significantly from the presumed name originally provided by the Process Server, the entity intended to be served may not appear on the search result list provided by DOS.
NB: A Process Server with access to the official DOS data base may perform his or her own search.
2. The Process Server must obtain the "DOS Search Page(s)" for the entity the Process Server intends to serve.
When the Process Server determines which entity is to be served, DOS will provide the Process Server with the "Current Status Information" (and, if applicable, the "Filing History Information" and/or the "Name History Information") for that entity. The "Current Status Information" (and, if applicable, the "Filing History Information" and/or the "Name History Information") are referred to as the "DOS Search Page(s)."
A Process Server with access to the official DOS database may print his or her own copies of the DOS Search Page(s) for the entity he or she intends to serve.
3. The Process Server must complete a "Service of Process Cover Sheet"
The Process Server will be required to complete a "Service of Process Cover Sheet" indicating the name of the entity to be served, the section of law under which service is being made, the manner in which the applicable fee is being paid, and the name and address of the Process Server. (A copy of the "Service of Process/Notice of Claim Cover Sheet " is annexed to these Instructions.)
The Process Server will be required to staple the DOS Search Page(s) to the Service of Process Cover Sheet, and to staple the Service of Process Cover Sheet (with the DOS Search Page(s)) to the process being served.
