this state a registered office which may be, but need not be, the same as its principal office, and a registered agent,

office, or a domestic corporation, whether for profit or not for profit, or a foreign corporation, whether for profit or not fo r
profit, authorized to transact business in this state, having an office identical with the registered office. The registered
agent so appointed by a corporation shall be an agent of the corporation upon whom any process, notice or demand
required or permitted by law to be served upon the corporation may be served.
6. The Application must be signed, in duplicate original, by the corporation’s president or vice president and secretary or
assistant secretary. A signature must appear on each line even if the same person holds both offices. Facsimile
