What Our Customers Say
“I recently started working with Virginia Registered Agent Services LLC, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The team is highly professional, especially Katie Sanford, who made the process seamless and clear. Their business services package, including website and email hosting, has been a huge help in getting my business online quickly and efficiently. The level of customer service is exceptional, and they are always available to answer any questions. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to establish and grow their business!
-William A., Yelp
I’ve used VA Registered Agent Services for two years, both for my own LLC and for a nonprofit organization that I volunteer for. They have been great! The website tool is easy to use and pricing is very clear and upfront! The few times that I’ve had questions, their team responded quickly. Plus, they are more affordable than many of the other registered agent services out there. I moved to using VA Registered Agent Services after trying several other companies — their notifications are reliable and they offer full-service management for small businesses that are not ready to manage their compliance requirements themselves.”

Our Virginia Business Address
Our registered agent services provide you with a huge privacy perk: a free Virginia business address, in a real office building that we own. Our local competitors either cannot provide you the privacy you need, or can only offer you a virtual business address, usually at an extra cost.
You can use our business address for your formation documents and annual reports instead of using any of your members’ personal addresses. You can keep your personal addresses 100% private and out of the public eye, saving you from being preyed on by scammers, the hassle of never-ending piles of junk mail, and a bevy of other perks, such as zero address change hassle if you move and strengthened business credibility.
Why Do I Need a Virginia Business Address?
- Privacy. Don’t let your personal or office addresses end up on the Virginia Secretary of State website for all the world to see, including scammers and marketers.
- No address change hassle when you move. Trust us—there is no streamlined process for a business address change. You’ll have to update your address with several different agencies every time you move, and it is a time-intensive task.
- Credibility. Create a great first impression and maintain the appearance of professionalism with our Virginia business address. Often, a personal address can give the appearance of an amateur business.
- Permanence. Establish a lasting presence by using our Virginia business address indefinitely. When you change business addresses often, it will be reflected to the public on the Secretary of State website.
- Lease or Homeowner Association rules. You may not be allowed to use your home address as a business address.
- Zoning restrictions. Your city municipality also may not allow businesses to list their home addresses as a business office.
- Liability issues. There is potential for “piercing the corporate veil,” which makes you personally liable for business debts, if you use your personal address as your business address. In order for liability protection to be permissible, you must keep your personal and business activities separate.

What is a Virginia Registered Agent?
A Virginia Registered Agent is a person or company appointed to accept legal documents and official notices from the Commonwealth of Virginia on your business’s behalf during normal business hours (9am – 5pm). Legal documents received by the registered agent can include Service of Process (such as summons or subpoenas). The Commonwealth of Virginia will send official notices such as annual reports to the registered agent, as well.
As stated in §13.1-1015 of the Code of Virginia, all business entities in the Commonwealth of Virginia are required to have a registered agent, sometimes referred to as a resident agent, with a physical street address in Virginia (no PO Boxes addresses allowed). This allows proper tracking of all legal mail in Virginia.
For example, if your company is sued, your Virginia registered agent will be the main point of contact for the state, and will ensure that your company is properly notified. Think of your registered agent as your gatekeeper.
Requirements of a Virginia Registered Agent
The requirements of the VA registered agent are:
- Maintain normal business hours at a business office (or registered office).
- Be available during those business hours to receive service of process.
- Have a physical address in Virginia (a PO Box is not acceptable).
