FAQs
What is Service of Process and how is it
accomplished? Service of Process is a legal process: legal orders, demands,
notices, or other papers about court proceedings in the District are
served on an individual or organization. If there is a registered
agent on record, that agent is served. A Service of Process can be
mailed or delivered to DCRA’s Superintendent of Corporations, who
may act as the substitute Registered Agent for a corporation,
limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability
partnership operating in the District, if:
The attempt to
serve the registered agent is unsuccessful (mail returned,
etc.)
2. The organization is revoked
3. The
registered agent resigned (and no new agent was
appointed)
4. The
company is not registered within the District of
Columbia
How to Serve the Superintendent of Corporations
- File 2 copies of documents with the court.
- Provide an affidavit of diligence that states
that one attempt has been made to serve the registered agent or
last known address before you served the Superintendent of
