(3) The address of its principal business office;
(4) In what fiduciary capacity, or capacities, it desires to act in the State of Alabama;
(5) That it is authorized to act in a similar fiduciary capacity or capacities in the state in which it is incorporated or, if it is a national banking association or other corporation organized under the laws of the United States, in which it has its principal place of business; and
