2. A statement appointing an agent for service of process takes effect on filing.

4. A statement appointing an agent for service of process may not be rejected for filing because the name of the entity filing the statement is not distinguishable on the records of the Secretary of State from the name of another entity appearing in those records. The filing of a statement appointing an agent for service of process does not make the name of the entity filing the statement unavailable for use by another entity.
5. An entity that has filed a statement appointing an agent for service of process may cancel the statement by filing a statement of cancellation, which shall take effect upon filing, and must state the name of the entity and that the entity is cancelling its appointment of an agent for service of process in this State. A statement appointing an agent for service of process, which has not been cancelled earlier, is effective for a period of 5 years after the date of filing.
6. A statement appointing an agent for service of process for a nonqualified foreign entity terminates automatically on the date the entity becomes a qualified foreign entity.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a registered agent determines pursuant to subsection 1 that the represented entity is not licensed as required pursuant to chapter 604A or 675 of NRS, the registered agent shall notify the Commissioner of Financial Institutions. This subsection does not require a registered agent who is an attorney to notify the Commissioner if doing so would violate any privilege pursuant to NRS 49.035 to 49.115, inclusive, or the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct.
3. A registered agent who accepts an appointment to act as the registered agent for a represented entity whom the registered agent knows or reasonably should know engages in business activities which are regulated pursuant to chapter 604A or 675 of NRS shall not perform any financial transactions on behalf of the represented entity in his or her capacity as registered agent.

Any provision of a contract which conflicts with this subsection is void. Failure to include such a provision in a contract is not a defense in an action brought to enforce or terminate the contract.
4. An order issued pursuant to subsection 1 is a final decision for the purposes of judicial review pursuant to chapter 233B of NRS. A registered agent shall comply with any such order pending judicial review.
5. If the Commissioner of Financial Institutions finds that a registered agent has failed to comply with an order issued pursuant to this section, the Commissioner may impose an administrative fine of not more than $1,000 upon the registered agent.

(Added to NRS by 2007, 2638)
NRS 77.440 Jurisdiction and venue.
