West Virginia Foreign Registration / Who we are
About this West Virginia service
West Virginia Foreign Registration is a filing service for businesses incorporated or organized elsewhere that need a certificate of authority from the West Virginia Secretary of State.
What we handle
A short questionnaire collects the details. From it we prepare Form LLF-1, request the home-state certificate so that its date falls in the right tax year, and send the application to Charleston.
Where our help stops
Questions such as whether a given activity is transacting business, or which West Virginia taxes and licenses apply, belong with a West Virginia lawyer or accountant.
