SERVICE OF PROCESS
The registered agent is the corporation's agent for service of
process. However, whenever a corporation fails to appoint or maintain a
registered agent or whenever its registered agent cannot with reasonable
diligence be found, the Secretary of State may be served as agent for that
corporation.
Summons and service may be made by
delivering such notice of service to the Secretary of State, Corporations
Division, 81 River Street, Drawer 09, Heritage One Building,
Montpelier, VT 05609-1104. The documents must be in
duplicate, and a fee of $20 is charged when the Secretary of State
accepts service of process on behalf of a corporation.
The Secretary of State accepts service of process (formal notice
of a lawsuit) on behalf of corporations without a registered agent (someone who
accepts service on behalf of a corporation) or for foreign corporations.
The Secretary may also accept service of process on insurance
companies, whether foreign or domestic. There are two exceptions with regard to
insurance: HMO's and Non-resident Agents and Brokers are to be served by serving process on the
Commissioner of Banking and Insurance (BISHCA).
