Final Answer :
In cases involving corporate defendants, the summons and complaint may be served on an officer or a registered agent (representative) of the corporation. The name of a corporation's registered agent and its business address can usually be obtained from the secretary of state's office in the state in which the company incorporated its business (and, usually, the secretary of state's office in any state in which the corporation does business).
