Summary

The law lets corporations, LLCs, LLPs and limited partnerships in Maryland use an address from a commercial mail‑receiving agency (a private mailbox service) as their principal office, provided they have a valid agreement with the agency. The agency must supply its contact information to the state or law‑enforcement agencies if requested. This expands the options for where a business can officially locate its headquarters.
