Sec. 9.
Registered office and agent.
Each foreign banking corporation authorized to establish and maintain a
banking office shall have and
continuously maintain:
(a) a registered office in Illinois which may be, but need not be, the
same as its
place of business; and
(b) a registered agent, which agent may be either an individual,
resident in this State, whose business office is identical with such
registered office, or a corporation authorized to transact business in this
State having a business office identical with such registered office.
A registered agent may at any time vacate his office as registered agent
by filing in the office of the Commissioner a statement setting forth his
resignation and the effective date thereof, which shall not be less than 60
days nor more than 90 days after the date of filing. A copy of the
statement shall be served on the foreign banking corporation by the
registered agent so resigning by registered or certified mail addressed to
such foreign banking corporation at its principal office as such is known
to such resigning agent and directed to the attention of the secretary or
other comparable officer of such corporation within 5 days after the date
of filing.
A foreign banking corporation may from time to time change the address
of its registered office; and shall change its registered agent if the
office of the registered agent becomes vacant for any reason or if its
registered agent becomes disqualified or incapacitated to act, or if it
revokes the appointment of its registered agent. Any such change of
registered office or registered agent may be effected by filing in the
office of the Commissioner duplicate originals of a statement setting forth
the details with respect to such change and the effective date thereof. The
Commissioner shall endorse on each of such duplicate originals the word
"Filed" and the date of filing thereof, and file in his office one of such
duplicate originals. He shall return the other duplicate original to the
foreign banking corporation or its representative.
