The issue is not registration in other states. The issue is why do I have to have a person who is a full-time resident of the state present as a contact. And, in California, why do those contact people have to be from a special list? Why can’t I just give California my address in Arizona and they send everything I need there, rather than to some resident of California who has to forward it to me

I see the need because you are incorporated in one state, and doing business in another. Therefore, the only alternative I see is being able to incorporate a US (as opposed to state) corporation, with state corporate tax/reporting structures unified so you make one return, with the federal gov't. working out some formula for how the revenue gets distributed. I can't imagine that happening though.</p> Perhaps you could expand on a viable alternative? I see the need because you are incorporated in one state, and doing business in another.

You want to do business there, you should be helping people there. There might also be some hook-in to regulation, that they have some regulatory power over at least that agent, but that's probably a secondary thing. Maybe it's also a stealth tax based on fees from you not paying on time. But that's just cynical me talking.</p> I’d bet a dollar that it’s just out and out state protectionism.
