Form 8-M is a consent to service of process filed by non-resident corporations seeking registration as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It designates the SEC as agent for service of process, enabling legal proceedings to be brought in the United States against foreign entities conducting broker-dealer activities. The dataset includes all Form 8-M filings submitted to EDGAR from March 2002 to present. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files; this covers the consent form and any supporting attachments as filed by the non-resident broker-dealer. Each filing typically contains the name and address of the non-resident corporation, its state or country of incorporation, the designation of the SEC as agent for service of process, and the signature of an authorized representative of the filing entity.
