Template:New York process agent capsule
The last time we checked[1] New York rules of civil procedure do not require service of process within the state of New York, nor even her territorial waters. Your process service guy can travel far and wide, serving the miscreant in whichever jurisdiction he may find an authorised representative to whom he can hand the papers. As long as he trots back and files an affidavit of service in the New York court, that will do. Therefore — however much money CT Corporation may reap persuading its offshore clients otherwise — foreigners conducting their affairs under the laws of the state of New York need not appoint a NY process agent.
