§ 9925 Corporate Agent Service Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a company picked someone to get legal papers for them before 1980, and that person had an office in a certain town, you can still give those papers to them at any office they listed.
  • •This rule applies to certain types of companies, like those that help the public or are for members only.
  • •The company had to file a paper saying where their agent’s offices are.

Example

A small charity picked a lawyer in Sacramento to get their legal mail in 1975. The lawyer’s office moved to Los Angeles later.

You can still send the charity’s legal papers to the lawyer’s office in Los Angeles because that’s where they said they’d be.
