19 Pa. Code § 19.2 - Change of commercial registered office address
(a) In section 108 of the code (relating to
change in location or status of registered office provided by agent) it is
provided that 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 reflect the 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 of the associations represented by it by
executing and filing in the Department a Form DSCB:15-108 (Statement of Change
of Registered Office by Agent) with respect to each association represented by
it.
(b) If the status of an agent
as a provider of a registered office is terminated by the filing, the location
of the registered office of the association represented is not affected, but
the person formerly in care of the office thereafter does not have any
responsibility with respect to matters tendered to the office in the name of
the association represented. A plaintiff should make service of process on the
actual principal place of business of the association represented, wherever
situated, in order to minimize the risk of due process defects in the validity
of any resulting judgment. As a result of changes in the law effected by the
Judiciary Act Repealer Act (JARA), act of April 28, 1978 (P. L. 202, No. 53),
the Department no longer receives or forwards service of process with respect
to actions, proceedings or appeals against or affecting associations and other
persons.
(c) It is not necessary
for the association represented to take action to effect a termination of
status of agent or other change of registered office as described in this
section but the person representing the association is required to promptly
furnish the association represented with a copy of the Form DSCB:15-108 as
filed in the Department.
