In Maryland we are not required to have a license to do business because we are manufacturing. How can i file a lien in Washington DC without a business license?
The fillable form for DC's notice of mechanic's lien addresses this, and indicates that a foreign entity (ie, not a DC entity) which does not transact regular business within the District, will need to provide its current license to do business in its home jurisidction, as well as a certificate of good standing from its home jurisidction issued within the last 180 days, as a prerequisite to fling a notice of mechanic's lien.
