Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in Georgia
A Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) or private mailbox address may generally be used as an LLC's principal or business address in Georgia, though this should be verified against current Georgia Secretary of State filing requirements and rules. State regulations on acceptable business addresses can change, and submission guidelines vary by filing type, so confirming the current policy on the official Georgia Secretary of State website before filing is advisable.
A CMRA address cannot serve as the registered agent address for a Georgia LLC. Registered agents must maintain a staffed, physical street address within Georgia where legal documents can be personally served during business hours. This requirement is uniform across states and reflects the need for a real person at a real location to receive important process notices and litigation documents on behalf of the company.

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.
