The New York Department of State recently updated registration applications by adding an option to allow an email address to be added for the purpose of receiving Service of Process electronically. Existing companies wishing to add an email address for receipt of electronic service of process can file a Certificate of Change with the New York Department of State.
Service of Process upon a domestic or authorized foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership, general association or condominium board by personal delivery requires that two copies of the process be personally served on the New York Secretary of State or any person authorized by him at the Office of the New York Department of State, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12231. Service by mail is not permitted.
Service of process may also be served electronically on the Secretary of State as agent of a domestic or authorized foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, general association or condominium board provided such entity has provided the Department of State with an email address for such purpose. There is no additional fee for serving process electronically.
Service of process upon an unauthorized foreign or suspended corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership by personal delivery requires that one copy of the process be personally served on the New York Secretary of State or any person authorized by him at the Office of the New York Department of State, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12231. Service by mail is not permitted. Please refer to the appropriate section of law for additional mailing/service requirements. Process on such entities may also be served through the Department of State’s Electronic Service of Process system. There is no additional cost for electronic service of process.
