An agent for service of process is an individual or business entity designated to receive service of process, legal documents, and official government correspondence on behalf of a business entity registered in West Virginia. The West Virginia Secretary of State maintains agent information for all entities doing business in the state.
West Virginia law generally expects every LLC, corporation, nonprofit, and similar entity registered with the West Virginia Secretary of State to maintain an agent for service of process in the state. This creates a reliable location where courts, government agencies, and other parties can deliver important legal documents during normal business hours.
Individuals must be West Virginia residents. Business entities must be authorized in the state. The agent needs a physical location in West Virginia, though West Virginia offers unique flexibility by allowing a PO box as long as a physical location is also provided — one of the few states with this option.
Agents for service of process receive service of process (lawsuits and legal summons), correspondence from the West Virginia Secretary of State, tax notices, annual report reminders, compliance notices, and other official documents directed to your business entity.
West Virginia residents can serve as their own agent. However, your personal address will appear on public records with the West Virginia Secretary of State, you must be in person during normal business hours to receive documents, and process servers may show up at your address at any time during business hours.
