The resident agent of one or more corporations, organized and operating under the laws of the United States Virgin Islands, may make and file with the Lieutenant Governor, his or its certificate, in duplicate, resigning the office of resident agent and appointing another individual or corporation as resident agent in his or its stead, and stating further the address of the substituted agent in accordance with the requirements of subsection (a)(5) of section 2 of this title. There shall be attached to each such certificate statements ratifying and approving such change of resident agent. Each such statement shall be executed in duplicate, shall be signed by the president or vice-president of each corporation for which such agent was appointed and sealed with the corporate seal thereof, and shall be duly acknowledged before an officer authorized to authenticate signatures. Upon the filing of such duplicate certificates and accompanying statements in the office of the Lieutenant Governor the substituted agent shall thereupon become the resident agent of such corporations as have ratified and approved such substitution as aforesaid; and the Lieutenant Governor shall then issue his certificate that the substituted resident agent has become the resident agent of the corporations so ratifying and approving such change of resident agent, and setting out the names of such corporations. The certificate of the Lieutenant Governor shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the district court in the judicial division in which the articles of incorporation are filed, and the clerk shall forthwith make a note of the change of resident agent in the index of the articles of incorporation of those corporations which have ratified and approved such change. For filing such certificates of change of resident agent the Lieutenant Governor shall charge the fees prescribed in section 431(a)(12) of this title.
