Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in Connecticut
Connecticut generally permits a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) or Private Mailbox (PMB) address to serve as an LLC's principal business address or mailing address. However, because address requirements can vary by filing type and change over time, you should verify current rules on the Connecticut Secretary of the State's official website or contact that office directly before submitting your formation documents.
A CMRA or PMB address cannot be used for the registered agent position. Connecticut law, consistent with uniform state standards, requires a registered agent to maintain a staffed, in-state street address where legal process can be personally delivered during business hours. This requirement exists to ensure reliable receipt of official notices and litigation documents. Confirm these requirements with the Connecticut Secretary of the State before finalizing your LLC setup.
