How to Serve BMW Financial Services in California

BMW Financial Services NA, LLC is served in California by delivering the papers to its registered agent, C T Corporation System, at 330 N Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203.

Angel City Legal, a registered Los Angeles County process server ten minutes away in Eagle Rock, makes that delivery next business day for a $49 flat fee.

Agent taken from the Secretary of State's business entity records as of October 1, 2026, in our weekly add of frequently sued companies. Agents change without notice, and the only authoritative source is the Secretary of State's bizfile record searched by the exact legal name. We re-read it before every drop.

What the serve looks like

One trip. The intake counter at Suite 700 logs the case, an employee on the agent's Corporations Code section 1505 roster accepts the copy set, and service on BMW Financial Services NA, LLC is complete that moment under Corporations Code section 17701.16. No attempts log, no waiting period, no mailing tail. The CT Corporation guide covers the counter and the roster in detail, and the 330 N Brand Blvd, Suite 700 address guide covers what else is in the building.

What to bring, by paper

• Small claims (SC-100): one court-stamped copy of every page the clerk filed, including any SC-100A and attachments. The proof is form SC-104, filed with your court at least 5 days before the trial; service itself must be complete 15 days before the trial, or 20 if the defendant is served outside your county. Details in the small-claims deadline guide.
• Civil summons and complaint: a conformed copy of the summons with the corporation named in the notice box, the complaint, and the civil case cover sheet and notices your court issued. Proof is form POS-010.
• Records subpoena (SUBP-010): the clerk-issued or attorney-issued subpoena and its attachment; the proof is the form's own page 2. The production date must fall at least 20 days after issuance or 15 days after service, whichever is later. For bank, lender, and other consumer records, the Notice to Consumer goes out first and the custodian copy carries proof of it.
• Federal summons (AO 440): the clerk-issued summons, complaint, and the court's assignment notices; the proof is page 2 of the summons, the server's affidavit under Rule 4(l).

Getting the name right

People write this defendant as "BMW Financial". The registry name is BMW Financial Services NA, LLC, and the proof of service names the entity actually served through its agent, with your caption shown as filed.

BMW of North America, LLC is a separate company, the U.S. distributor, with its own page here. Serving one corporation through a shared agent is not service on the other; each defendant you want in the case has to be named and served in its own right.

Our drop

We are ten minutes from Suite 700 and serve there most weekday mornings. A registered-agent drop is $49, next business day, guaranteed: you upload the PDF, we re-check the agent on bizfile, deliver, and send back the completed proof of service as a signed PDF with a time and GPS stamped photo of the delivery, usually the same morning. Statewide clients welcome; most of the people who serve BMW Financial Services through us are outside Los Angeles County.

Representing yourself? Add proof e-filing at checkout for $35 and we file the proof of service with your California court in your name the day of the serve or the next business day, then email you the clerk's filed copy. Proof for our serve only; case outside California, ask and we will quote it.
