In past years, corporations and LLCs received a document that is misleading. It may have come from one of various companies. It appeared to be from the Virginia State Corporation Commission, but it is an advertising piece from a private company. It appears to be the annual report required by the State Corporation Commission, so some clients send in money. It was NOT an annual report and late the client paid a late fee to the State.
In January, as the registered agent for some companies, I received from “Virginia Business Certificates” a solicitation to buy a 2021 Certificate of Fact of Existence Request Form for $67.00. This is not an official state form and has no official use. I searched and found no company by that name registered to do business in Virginia. It answers the telephone and has an address in Richmond. An official certified Certificate of Corporate Existence can be purchased from the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s web site, www.scc.virginia.gov/Clerks office for $6.00. If you have questions concern this, please feel free to call McGeehan Pascale, 703-273=5303.
