What Virginia Businesses Need to Know

Legal Requirement
Virginia law requires every LLC and corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical Virginia address. Failure to do so can result in loss of good standing or dissolution.
Privacy Protection

Document Management
Your registered agent receives time-sensitive documents from the Virginia State Corporation Commission and any court in Virginia. Missing these can have serious legal and financial consequences.
Compliance Support
Stay on top of Virginia compliance. Your annual report is due September 30 (annually) with a $50 (LLCs) fee. CrowSmart sends deadline reminders.

about Virginia

Virginia requires annual registration fees for LLCs at $50, due by September 30. The filing agency is the State Corporation Commission (SCC), not the Secretary of State. Virginia's proximity to Washington, D.C. and strong business environment make it popular for formation.

We meet requirements in all of them

Physical Address Requirement

No P.O. Boxes allowed

Virginia requires your registered agent to have a physical street address (not a P.O. Box) within the state. This ensures that legal documents from the Virginia State Corporation Commission and Virginia courts can be physically delivered and received.

Business Hours Availability

9 AM - 5 PM, Mon-Fri

Your Virginia registered agent must be available during normal business hours (9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday) to accept service of process and official correspondence from the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Ongoing Maintenance

Continuous requirement

Virginia requires you to maintain a registered agent throughout your business's existence. If you change agents, you must file an update with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (filing fee: $25) to stay in compliance.

Multi-State Considerations

One per state

If your Virginia-based business operates in other states through foreign qualification, you'll need a registered agent in each state. CrowSmart provides registered agent services in all 50 states, simplifying multi-state compliance.
