File Your Virginia Annual Registration Fee Online
Virginia's Annual Registration Fee is filed online with the Virginia State Corporation Commission at cis.scc.virginia.gov. It is due the last day of your anniversary month each year, and the state adds a $25 penalty when it is late. We prepare it from your company's details and submit it to the state for you, so it is done before the deadline and off your list.

What the Virginia Form Asks
The Virginia Annual Registration Fee is a fee payment, not a report: nothing on the record is confirmed or changed with it.
In SCC CIS (cis.scc.virginia.gov, account required, no PIN) you find the LLC by its SCC ID and pay the $50. Address or agent changes are separate CIS filings.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Annual Registration Fee is due March 31, 2027, the last day of its anniversary month. After that it files by the same date every year.
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as Virginia registered it
- Its SCC ID, from the state's record or the formation approval
- The principal office street address and the mailing address, if different
- The registered agent's name and Virginia street address
- The names and addresses of the managers or members on record
- The name and title of the person signing, and a card for the state fee
Our order form asks for the same items, in the same order the Virginia screens do.

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the Virginia filing site
The Annual Registration Fee is filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission at cis.scc.virginia.gov. It asks you to sign in or create an account first. Virginia takes it the last day of your anniversary month; the window opens 60 days before the due date.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its SCC ID, the number on the company's Virginia record, not by name alone. Two companies can have near-identical names, and a report filed under the wrong number files the wrong company's report.
3. Confirm or update the details
The principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members on record. Anything that changed since the last filing goes in now; a new registered agent is a separate change filing in Virginia.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay Virginia's fee ($50 for an LLC). Save the confirmation; it is your proof of filing until the state's record shows the report.
Rather skip the state's site? We file it for you, and the state's confirmation comes to your inbox. To file it yourself, start at the Virginia filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Your own login on cis.scc.virginia.gov | Our filer's account; nothing is created in your name |
| Finding the company | You enter the SCC ID | We look up the record and match it to your order |
| The details | You retype the addresses, the agent and the managers or members on the state's screens | You confirm them once on our form; we check them against the Virginia record before filing |
| Signing | An authorized person signs electronically | You authorize the filing at checkout and name the signer; the state's signature line is completed the way the state allows |
| State fee | Paid to the state by card at the end | Paid to the state on your behalf and itemized on the order review step |
| Timing | Any time the window is open (the last day of your anniversary month; the window opens 60 days before the due date) | Order any time; a report the state is not taking yet is held and filed the day the window opens |
| Confirmation | Shown on screen; save it yourself | The state's confirmation is emailed to you and kept on your order page |
| Registered agent change | A separate change filing with the Virginia State Corporation Commission | Chosen on the order form; we file the change with the report order |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a Virginia street address that receives lawsuits and state notices for the LLC; a post office box does not qualify, and the agent's address is public.
- Principal office and mailing address
- Where the business is run, and the address the state should write to if that differs; both appear on the public record.
- Managers or members
- Who runs the LLC. The Annual Registration Fee lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- SCC ID
- The number Virginia gave the company when it was formed. It is on the approved formation document and on the state's business search, and it is how the filing finds the right record.
- Good standing, dissolution and reinstatement
- Good standing is the status a company keeps by filing on time. Administrative dissolution (some states say revocation or forfeiture) is what the state does to one that stops filing, and reinstatement is the filing that brings it back, with the missed reports and fees.
What Goes Wrong on the Virginia Annual Registration Fee
- Filing an Annual Registration Fee for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2027, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
- Filing outside the window: the Annual Registration Fee is due the last day of your anniversary month, and the window opens 60 days before the due date; the state's system does not take it earlier.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its SCC ID: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Trying to change the registered agent on the Annual Registration Fee: Virginia takes the agent change as its own filing, before or after the report.
- Looking for a form to fill in: the Annual Registration Fee is a payment against the SCC ID, and address or agent changes are separate CIS filings.
- Waiting too long: Virginia takes the late payment, with the $25 penalty, through the last day of the third month after the due date. If the fee is still unpaid on the last day of that third month, the LLC's existence is cancelled automatically.
After you file
cis.scc.virginia.gov shows a confirmation and sends a receipt to the filer's email; keep it with the company's records, because it is the proof of filing until the Virginia State Corporation Commission posts the Annual Registration Fee to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Virginia business search stays active, which is what a bank, a lender, a landlord or a licensing board checks before it opens an account, extends credit or renews a license. A certificate of status or good standing, where one of them asks for paper proof, is a separate document the state issues on request. The next thing the Virginia business registry expects is the next Annual Registration Fee, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Changing Your Registered Agent
Virginia's Annual Registration Fee confirms the registered agent on record but does not replace it. A new agent is its own change-of-agent filing with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, filed before or after the report.
Registered agent service through America LLC Filing
Our registered agent partner's Virginia address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. We file Virginia's change-of-agent form for you with the report order. Choose it on the order form.
File my report and switch my agent →How our registered agent service worksVirginia Annual Registration Fee: Questions
Can I file the Virginia Annual Registration Fee online?+
Yes. Virginia takes it online through the Virginia State Corporation Commission (cis.scc.virginia.gov), after you sign in or create an account. If you would rather not, we file it for you: one short form with your company's details, and we submit it to the state.
When is the Virginia Annual Registration Fee due?+
The last day of your anniversary month each year. The window opens 60 days before the due date. Order any time: if Virginia is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the Virginia deadline?+
The state's late penalty is $25, added by the state after the due date. Virginia takes the late payment, with the $25 penalty, through the last day of the third month after the due date. If the fee is still unpaid on the last day of that third month, the LLC's existence is cancelled automatically. We file late reports while the state still takes them; the state's penalty, where there is one, is paid to the state with its fee.
Is the Virginia Annual Registration Fee every year?+
Every year. The deadline is the last day of your anniversary month, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Virginia says otherwise, so file ahead of it.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Registration Fee?+
Not this year. An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Annual Registration Fee is due March 31, 2027, the last day of its anniversary month. After that it files by the same date every year. A report filed for the formation year is not required, and the state's system will either refuse it or treat it as next year's.
What do I need to file it?+
The company's exact legal name and its SCC ID, the principal and mailing address, the registered agent on record, and the managers or members. We ask for the same on our order form, so nothing is missing when we file.
Do I need an account on cis.scc.virginia.gov?+
Yes. The Virginia filing site asks you to sign in or register before it opens the Annual Registration Fee; the Virginia Annual Registration Fee is a fee payment, not a report: nothing on the record is confirmed or changed with it. When we file for you, our filer's account is used and nothing is created in your name.
Can I change my Virginia registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. Virginia takes the agent change as its own filing, separate from the Annual Registration Fee; choose our registered agent service on our order form and we file that change for you with the report order, so our partner's Virginia address replaces yours on the record.
Is America LLC Filing the Virginia state office?+
No. America LLC Filing is a private filing service, not a government agency and not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with Virginia. The state's fee is the same whether you file at cis.scc.virginia.gov yourself or we file for you.
