Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in North Dakota
A virtual mailbox or CMRA address can generally serve as the principal or business address for a North Dakota LLC, though this depends on the state's specific filing requirements and should be verified directly with the North Dakota Secretary of State before filing. Regulations vary by state, and while many accept such addresses for the LLC's mailing location, confirming current rules on the official state filing page is essential to avoid complications during formation or renewal.
However, a CMRA or virtual mailbox address cannot be used for the registered agent position. North Dakota, like all states under the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act framework, requires the registered agent to maintain a staffed, in-state street address capable of receiving hand-served legal process during business hours. This distinction between business address and registered agent address is uniform across states and non-negotiable. Applicants should engage a qualified registered agent service with a physical North Dakota office.

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.
