Typically, state law says that an entity that has been administratively 
dissolved cannot conduct business and all they can do is wind up their 
affairs. So I would argue that the application was not lawfully filed. 
But before you get too excited, if the entity was administratively 
dissolved for failure to file annual reports or something like that, it 
can probably get reinstated retroactively and cure the problem.

Which address, the mailing address or the so-called "domicile" address? 
What leads you to believe it's not accurate?
