Sec. 33-922. Application for certificate of authority. (a) A foreign corporation
may apply for a certificate of authority to transact business in this state by delivering
an application to the Secretary of the State for filing. The application shall set forth: (1)
The name of the foreign corporation or, if its name is unavailable for use in this state,
a corporate name that satisfies the requirements of section 33-925; (2) the name of the
state or country under whose law it is incorporated; (3) its date of incorporation and

the names and respective business and residence addresses of the directors and officers
of the foreign corporation, except that if good cause is shown, the Secretary of the State
may accept business addresses in lieu of business and residence addresses of the directors
and officers of the corporation. For purposes of this section, a showing of good cause
shall include, but not be limited to, a showing that public disclosure of the residence
addresses of the corporation's directors and officers may expose the personal security

(b) The foreign corporation shall deliver with the completed application a certificate
of existence, or a document of similar import, duly authenticated by the secretary of the
state or other official having custody of corporate records in the state or country under
