Foreign Corporations Law and Legal Definition
A foreign corporation is a corporation which is incorporated under the laws of a different state or nation. A foreign corporation must file a notice of doing business in any state in which it does substantial regular business. It must name an "agent for acceptance of service" in that state, or the Secretary of State in some jurisdictions will automatically be that agent so people doing business with a foreign corporation will be able to bring legal actions locally if necessary.
