ORS 86A.312 Licensee’s principal place of business; registered agent; assumed business name

A licensee shall designate and maintain a principal place of business at or from which the licensee services residential mortgage loans in this state and shall designate a registered agent in this state.

If a licensee does not maintain a principal place of business in this state the licensee shall nevertheless designate a registered agent in this state. The registered agent must be available to receive on the licensee’s behalf any notice, demand or service of process permitted by law to be given, made or delivered to, or served upon, the licensee.

If the licensee does not designate a registered agent in this state, or if the licensee’s registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be located, the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services is the licensee’s registered agent.

A licensee may not use or operate under an assumed business name unless the licensee first registers the assumed business name under ORS chapter 648 and lists the name on an application under ORS 86A.309 or in a notice to the director under ORS 86A.318.
