Hello,
I am translating a Senegalese domiciliation agreement. At the start of the agreement, where it introduces the parties, it refers to both the "domiciliante" and the " domiciliée". I assume the "domiciliée" is best referred to as the "client", but I am struggling to find references to confirm the most appropriate translation of "domiciliante". Would "domiciliation agent" work here?
*La domiciliante* autorise *la domiciliée* à domicilier son siège social dans les lieux ci-après désignés...
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Domiciliary agent
Domiciliary agent is used in SEC filings and Deloitte doesn't shy away from it. Grammatically, it's perhaps more correct since "domiciliary" is an adjective, but I suppose "domiciliation agent" holds the same weight semantically.
I know many US states use the term "domestication" to refer to the process, but since this is for Senegal, let's stick with the more international "domiciliation".

Obviously, this runs against the grain about whether or not the term refers to a third-party agent. In the context of the discussion, if we're talking about the party that offers domicile, e.g., Senegal is the new domicile, would the translation be better rendered as an explanatory term rather than a literal translation? For example, "place where domiciliation is sought" or "country/jurisdiction/agency granting domicile"?

Example sentence:
To establish domicile in Luxembourg, you'll need an experienced domiciliary agent.
Delhaize has engaged ING Bank as its domiciliary agent.

I agree with "domiciliation agent" too. Obviously you don't need to keep saying "domiciliation".

Did he disagree with himself? He must have run out of other people to disagree with.

: my previous answer applies here also - same context, but I'm not convinced by anything talking of an "agent" - that would be taking too much liberties with the meaning of what is to be an "agent"

: agree with Daryo and his service address answer. Domiciliation AFAIK is used only for a bill of exchange.// The volume of G/hits may indicate the embedding of translatorese, plus subrogation to vs. in the rights of a party *all wrong* scores 430,000.

Same as an "estate agent" doesn't own any property to sell or rent to you, being an "agent" he will find you someone else's property for you to buy or rent.
