West Virginia Corporate, LLC & Registered Agent Service of Process
Hand-delivery to CSC (209 W Washington St), CT Corporation (5098 Washington St W), the WV Secretary of State ($35/$40 fee), and the WV Insurance Commissioner.
1. Serving Commercial Registered Agents in Charleston & Kanawha County
Under W.Va. R. Civ. P. Rule 4(d)(5) through 4(d)(8) and W.Va. Code § 31D-5-504 (for corporations) and § 31B-1-111 (for LLCs), civil process, subpoenas, and wage garnishments (suggestee executions) directed to a business entity are served upon its designated Registered Agent on file with the West Virginia Secretary of State, or upon an officer, director, manager, or general agent.
Because Charleston is the state capital, over over two-thirds of national corporations, banks, healthcare systems, and energy operators registered in West Virginia designate a commercial registered agent in Kanawha County. Hand delivery is available to Corporation Service Company (CSC) at 209 West Washington Street, Charleston, WV 25302 and CT Corporation System at 5098 Washington Street West, Suite 407, Charleston, WV 25313 (Cross Lanes).
Before every attempt, we cross-check the entity's exact legal name and active status in the West Virginia Secretary of State Business Organization database so your summons is not rejected for an entity naming discrepancy.
