Operative words

COVID-19 UPDATE: In response to the rapidly evolving national health emergency, the SCC is directing all business with the Commission to be handled through electronic filing systems, email, or by telephone. The COVID-19 epidemic has reduced on-site staffing. For public health concerns, in-person visits to SCC offices are temporarily suspended. If you must make filings or other deliveries, drop offs are permitted. The processing of such may be delayed.

Enforcement

Commission's administrative direction over its offices and filings (Va. Code sec. 12.1-13)

Notes

Virginia's corporate filing office and the regulator of its utilities, insurers and banks suspended in-person business in one notice; the Clerk's Office separately extended filing deadlines by order (Virginia State file, category).
