North Dakota Century Code Title 10. Corporations § 10-33-125. Foreign corporation--Governing law

1. Subject to the constitution of this state, the laws of the jurisdiction under which a foreign corporation is incorporated govern its incorporation and internal affairs. Nothing in this chapter authorizes this state to regulate the incorporation or internal affairs of a foreign corporation.

2. A foreign corporation may not be denied a certificate of authority to conduct activities in this state by reason of any difference between those laws and the laws of this state.

3. A foreign corporation holding a valid certificate of authority in this state has no greater rights and privileges than a corporation. The certificate of authority does not authorize the foreign corporation to exercise any of its powers or purposes that a corporation is forbidden by law to exercise in this state.
