This law requires the corporation to have a legal contact in Washington, D.C. That designated agent receives legal papers, called service of process, on the corporation's behalf. Notifying or serving the agent counts as notifying or serving the corporation itself.

The corporation must designate an agent located in the District of Columbia to receive service of process — official legal papers — for the corporation. Whenever someone gives notice to that agent, or serves that agent with legal papers, the law treats it as if they gave notice to or served the corporation itself.
