Yes you can, but only by using a third party service that will prepare and mail all the paperwork for you. It will cost more than if you registered yourself but it will be extremely convenient and you will know the paperwork was filled out correctly.I have personally used LegalZoom and found their services to be excellent.What you should do is start with your Secretary of State s website. There you will find all the information you need on filing a DBA, forming a corporation, LLC, LLP or whatever legal entity you choose. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
No, you have to file in your home town, with a recognized business journal type publication. You start the process with a DBA (doing business as) then you move to business cards, commercial bank account to pay for advertising and supplies. Then you can file for a S corporation, with your State.
