Foreign Qualification
Foreign qualification is the process of registering a company in a state in which it had no rights to do business in the first place. A company is considered “domestic” in the state in which it was formed and “foreign” in any other state in which it wants to do business. By filing a Foreign Qualification, the company obtains a Certificate of Authority, which gives it legitimate rights to do business in the state.
