Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in Minnesota
A virtual mailbox or commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) address may generally be used as an LLC's principal business address in Minnesota, though current state filing rules should be verified on the official Minnesota Secretary of State website before relying on this for registration. Requirements and acceptability can vary by jurisdiction and may change, so confirming the specific rules applicable to your filing is advisable.
However, a CMRA address cannot serve as the LLC's registered agent address. Minnesota follows uniform standards requiring that a registered agent maintain a staffed, in-state street address where legal documents and process of law can be personally served during business hours. This distinction is critical to your LLC's compliance. For guidance on current requirements, consult Minnesota's official business registration resources, and consider consulting a qualified professional if uncertain about your specific circumstances.

Compiled from the USPS federal baseline (DMM 508 / 39 CFR) and the state notary/RON statute, and verified June 2026. Always confirm the current rule on the official state Secretary of State / notary page before you rely on it — RON law is still moving. This state's RON status is currently medium-confidence (the exact statute section is not yet pinned), so treat the online-notarization detail as a starting point and confirm it on the official page.
