Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 108.  Change in location or status of registered office
                provided by agent.
        (a)  General rule.--Where the registered office of a
     corporation or other association is stated to be in care of or
     is in fact in care of an agent who maintains the registered
     office for the corporation or other association and the agent
     changes its name or the location of its office in a county from
     one address to another within the county or ceases to provide a
     registered office for one or more associations, the agent may,
     in the manner provided in this section, reflect such change of
     name or effect a corresponding change in the registered office
     address of or cease to provide a registered office for one or
     more or all of the associations represented by it. The agent
     shall execute and file in the Department of State with respect
     to each association represented by it a statement of change of
     registered office by agent, setting forth:
            (1)  The name of the association represented.
            (2)  The address, including street and number, if any, of
        its then registered office.
            (3)  The address, including street and number, if any, of
        the new registered office of the association represented if
        the registered office of the association represented is to be
        changed.
            (4)  The name of the person in care of the office and a
        statement that the person has been designated in fact as the
        agent in care of the registered office of the association
        represented in this Commonwealth and that the change in
        registered office reflects a change of name of the agent, the
        removal of the place of business of the agent to a new
        location within the county or a termination of the status of
        the agent as the provider of the registered office of the
        association represented, as the case may be.
     If the status of an agent as a provider of a registered office
     is terminated under this section, the location of the registered
     office of the association represented shall not be affected, but
     the person formerly in care of the office shall thereafter not
     have any responsibility with respect to matters tendered to the
     office in the name of the association represented.
        (b)  Action by and notice to association.--It is not
     necessary for the association represented to take any action in
     order to effect a termination of status of agent or other change
     of registered office under this section, but the person
     representing the association shall promptly furnish the
     association represented with a copy of the statement of change
     of registered office by agent as filed in the Department of
     State.
