Before using powers this chapter grants, the corporation must register a legal agent. It files that agent's name and address wherever it has a headquarters, branch, or subdivision. This lets people serve legal papers on the corporation there.

Before the corporation can use any power or privilege this chapter gives it, it must meet one condition: filing paperwork in every place it operates. Specifically, it must file, with the secretary of state or other designated official of the District of Columbia or of each State, territory, or possession where its headquarters, branches, or subdivisions are located, the name and address of an agent in that jurisdiction. That agent is the person on whom legal process or other legal demands against the corporation can be served.
