(a) A natural person who resides in this state and whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(b) A domestic corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or registered limited liability partnership whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(c) A foreign corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or registered limited liability partnership if that entity is authorized to transact business in this state and the entity's business office is identical with the registered office.
(2) A registered agent for a limited liability partnership or registered foreign limited liability partnership must have an e-mail account and a place of business in this state.
(3) The only duties under this chapter of a registered agent that has complied with this chapter are the following:
