Out of State Applicants In addition to application requirements, all Out-of-State applicants require an Agent of Service registered in Rhode Island. No registration shall be issued to a non-resident applicant until he or she has filed with the Board a power of attorney constituting and appointing a registered agent (an attorney whose office is located within the boundaries of the State of R.I. or a registered agent listed with the R.I. Secretary of State) upon whom all processes in any action or legal proceeding against him or her may be served, and in the power of attorney agrees that any lawful process against him or her which may have been served upon his or her registered agent is of the same force and effect as if served on the non-resident applicant, and that the force continues irrevocably until such time as the Board has been duly notified in writing of any change.
