(b)        No foreign corporation shall do any business in this State, through or by branch offices, agents or representatives located in this State, until it shall have paid to the Secretary of State of this State for the use of this State, $80, and shall have filed in the office of the Secretary of State:

外来公司希望通过其设在本州的办事处、代理或代表经营任何业务的，应当向本州州务卿支付八十美元（$80）的费用，并向州务卿办公室提交备案下述文件：

 

(1)   A certificate, as of a date not earlier than 6 months prior to the filing date, issued by an authorized officer of the jurisdiction of its incorporation evidencing its corporate existence. If such certificate is in a foreign language, a translation thereof, under oath of the translator, shall be attached thereto;

由公司组建所处司法辖区内授权官员于备案日期之前6个月内出具的、证实公司存在的证明。如果该证明以外文写就，则应当随附由翻译宣誓出具的该证明的译本；

 

(2)   A statement executed by an authorized officer of each corporation setting forth (i) the name and address of its registered agent in this State, which agent may be any of the foreign corporation itself, an individual resident in this State, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership (whether general (including a limited liability partnership) or limited (including a limited liability limited partnership)), a domestic limited liability company, a domestic statutory trust, a foreign corporation (other than the foreign corporation itself), a foreign partnership (whether general (including a limited liability partnership) or limited (including a limited liability limited partnership)), a foreign limited liability company or a foreign statutory trust, (ii) a statement, as of a date not earlier than 6 months prior to the filing date, of the assets and liabilities of the corporation, and (iii) the business it proposes to do in this State, and a statement that it is authorized to do that business in the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The statement shall be acknowledged in accordance with § 103 of this title.

(c)        The certificate of the Secretary of State, under seal of office, of the filing of the certificates required by subsection (b) of this section, shall be delivered to the registered agent upon the payment to the Secretary of State of the fee prescribed for such certificates, and the certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the right of the corporation to do business in this State; provided, that the Secretary of State shall not issue such certificate unless the name of the corporation is such as to distinguish it upon the records in the office of the Division of Corporations in the Department of State from the names that are reserved on such records and from the names on such records of each other corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust organized or registered as a domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust under the laws of this State, except with the written consent of the person who has reserved such name or such other corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust, executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State in accordance with § 103 of this title. If the name of the foreign corporation conflicts with the name of a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust organized under the laws of this State, or a name reserved for a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust to be organized under the laws of this State, or a name reserved or registered as that of a foreign corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or statutory trust under the laws of this State, the foreign corporation may qualify to do business if it adopts an assumed name which shall be used when doing business in this State as long as the assumed name is authorized for use by this section.

公司按规定就按照本节(b)款规定提交备案的证明向州务卿缴纳相关费用之后，州务卿将出具证明并加盖公章，证实本节(b)款所要求的证明已经提交州务卿备案。此证明将交付给公司的注册代理人，并成为该公司有权在本州经营业务的初步证据；但是，州务卿出具该证明的前提是，该公司的名称在州务院公司部记录之后，应当能够区别于在该等记录中所保留的名称或者根据本州法律组建的其他公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托的名称，或根据本州法律规定、作为本州或外来公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托而登记的其他公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托的名称；但经保留该等姓名的人员或该等其他公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托书面批准的除外。该等书面批准应当按照本篇第103节的规定签署、认可并提交州务卿备案。如果该外来公司的名称与（i）本节本州法律组建的公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托的名称；或（ii）为将要根据本州法律组建的公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托所预留的名称；或（iii）根据本州法律为外来的公司、合伙、有限合伙、有限责任合伙或法定信托所预留或登记的名称等发生冲突，则该外来公司经过本节规定获得授权后可采用一个在本州进行业务经营中的所使用的化名，以此获得在本州经营业务的资质。

(b)        In case the officer whose duty it is to serve legal process cannot by due diligence serve the process in any manner provided for by subsection (a) of this section, it shall be lawful to serve the process against the corporation upon the Secretary of State, and such service shall be as effectual for all intents and purposes as if made in any of the ways provided for in subsection (a) of this section. Process may be served upon the Secretary of State under this subsection by means of electronic transmission but only as prescribed by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is authorized to issue such rules and regulations with respect to such service as the Secretary of State deems necessary or appropriate. In the event that service is effected through the Secretary of State in accordance with this subsection, the Secretary of State shall forthwith notify the corporation by letter, directed to the corporation at its principal place of business as it appears on the last annual report filed pursuant to § 374 of this title or, if no such address appears, at its last registered office. Such letter shall be sent by a mail or courier service that includes a record of mailing or deposit with the courier and a record of delivery evidenced by the signature of the recipient. Such letter shall enclose a copy of the process and any other papers served upon the Secretary of State pursuant to this subsection. It shall be the duty of the plaintiff in the event of such service to serve process and any other papers in duplicate, to notify the Secretary of State that service is being effected pursuant to this subsection, and to pay the Secretary of State the sum of $50 for the use of the State, which sum shall be taxed as a part of the costs in the proceeding if the plaintiff shall prevail therein.

如果经过合法而适当的努力，不能通过本节（a）款规定的任何方式，向担负接收法律令状义务的公司高级职员送达相关令状，则可以依法将交送给公司的令状送达至州务卿。并且，此类送达为了所有的意图及目的均应当一如采用本节（a）款所述方式送达一样有效。经州务卿批准后，可以通过电子传输的方式送达在本节项下需要送达给州务卿的令状。如果州务卿认为必要或者适当，则应当有权就此等书状的送达制定相关规则和条例。如果根据本款规定向州务卿送达令状，州务卿在接到令状之后应当立即以信函的方式通知相关公司。此等信函应当：（1）寄至该公司根据本篇第374节之规定最后提交的年度报告中所显示的主要经营地。如果该年度报告中未列明其主要经营地地址，则发送至其最新的注册办公地；（2）可通过邮政或快递交送，但需要提交交付邮寄或快递的记录，以及有收件人签字为证的交送记录；（3）信函中应当包含根据本款规定交送州务卿的令状及所有其他文件。所以，交送此等令状及文件时，原告有义务按照一式两份交送上述令状或文件，同时应当通知州务卿其已经开始根据本款规定交送此等令状及文件，向州务卿交付50美元作为相关费用。此项费用在原告胜诉时，可作为程序费用进行核定。州务卿应当按字母顺序来就此类书状的送达保存记录，列明原被告的姓名（名称），案名、案号及向州务卿送达令状之程序的性质，说明已经根据本款规定交送该等书状的事实情况，回执递交日期，以及书状送达的日期和时间。该等记录的保存日期为收讫之后5年。

The statement shall be acknowledged by the registered agent and shall contain a representation that written notice of resignation was given to the corporation at least 30 days prior to the filing of the statement by mailing or delivering such notice to the corporation at its address given in the statement.
