Mainstay Filing is our pick in Virginia at $149 a year. To check any agent here: ask the State Corporation Commission (SCC) how it records agents, confirm a Virginia street address, then apply the five criteria.

The Virginia rule

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. A Virginia resident who is a member, manager or officer of the LLC (or of an entity that manages it) or a member of the Virginia State Bar, or a corporation, LLC or registered LLP authorized in Virginia. The address has to be a registered office in Virginia that is the agent's business office. A P.O. box is accepted only in a town of under 2,000 people with no street address. Changing agents has no state fee. Source: Va. Code § 13.1-1015, checked October 20, 2026.
