Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in Delaware
Delaware allows a commercial mailbox or virtual-mailbox address to generally serve as an LLC's principal place of business or mailing address, though filers should verify current state filing rules on the official Delaware Division of Corporations website before submitting formation documents. Requirements for business address designation can vary by filing type, so confirmation with the state is recommended.
A virtual-mailbox or CMRA address cannot serve as the registered agent address for a Delaware LLC. Registered agents must maintain a staffed, physical street address within Delaware to receive hand-delivered legal process. This requirement is uniform across states and represents a distinct legal function separate from general business mailing. Applicants should consult the Division of Corporations directly to confirm all current address requirements before filing.
