Finding out the registered agent (RA) of a corp just takes a little internet investigating. Since apparently every state's Secretary of State has a website with a corporations database on it (I've not come across a state without an online corporations database yet), the trick is to find out what states they are incorporated in. Or what states they are registered to do business in.

First thing though, is to figure out the real name of the corporation. Not the trade name or the "doing business as" name. For instance, with CAMCO, I did a search on that and came up with a half dozen "CAMCO's". However, after checking out some of the links, I discovered that it was the Capital Aquisitions and Management Company and that it was based in Illinois. So then all it took was a trip to the Illinois Sec. of State's website to get the RA information.

If they had registered in another state as a foreign corporation permitted to do business, then that state would have on record a RA and a registered office for that corp in that state as well.

So the trick is just figuring out the formal name of the corp. Then figuring out what states they might be registered or incorporated in. (Or just check all 50 states?). Then checking the corporations database at that state's Sec of State's website.

Alternatively, you can call the Sec. of State's office to get that information as well. If I am filing suit on a corporation, I almost always do this so that I can confirm the information with a live human.

Happy hunting!

poor lawyer, esq.
