RULES OF PROCESS THAT GOVERN DEUTSCHE BANK
The New York statutes governing foreign for-profit corporations, LLCs, LPs, and LLPs doing business in New York do not define what constitutes doing business in New York.

It must be remembered for purposes of New York City Process Service that this information is not recorded and can only be availed by viewing that particular certificate. Consequently, New York City Process Service must be entity-specific in order to be processed correctly.
