INSTRUCTIONS

When completing the application, the information should be typewritten.

Name: The name of the corporation must be stated exactly as it appears in its charter without alteration or

abbreviation.

A stock corporation name must contain the word "corporation," "incorporated," "company" or "limited"; or the

abbreviation "corp.," "inc.," "co." or "ltd." If the name of the corporation does not satisfy this requirement, it must

add one of the above to its name for use in Virginia.

(A nonstock corporation name need not meet this

requirement.)

If the corporation's real name is not available, it must adopt a designated name for use in Virginia. State the

"for use in Virginia" name in the first line of the application, along with the corporation's real name. See Va. Code

Sections 13.1-762, 924.

2. Period of duration: Unless the corporation's charter states a limited corporate life, the period of duration is

"perpetual."

Registered office and registered agent: Provide the complete post office address (which must include a

street address, if any, or a rural route and box number in rural areas) of the corporation's registered office in

Virginia. The registered office address in Virginia is the business office address of the registered agent.

Provide the name of the city or county where the registered office is physically located. (Cities and counties in

Virginia are separate local jurisdictions.)

Provide the name of the Virginia registered agent. The qualifications of the registered agent are set forth on

the front of this form - no other person or entity may serve as the registered agent. See Sections 13.1-759, 763;

13.1-921, 925.

4. Officers: Include names, titles and complete business addresses of all officers of the corporation.

5. Directors: Include names and business addresses of all directors. The trustees of a nonstock corporation, by

whatever name they are called, are to be listed as directors. If directors are not required by the state or country of

incorporation, then a statement to that effect must be made in the space provided for director information.

Shares: List the total number of shares (not number of dollars) the corporation is authorized to issue, as

stated in the corporation's charter (the number in the charter must match the number on the application). Itemize

by class and, if any, series within each class. A nonstock corporation would write NONE in that section of the

application. See Section 13.1-759.

Signature: The application must be executed in the name of the corporation by its chairman or any vice-

chairman of the board of directors, the president or any other of its officers authorized to act on behalf of the

corporation. See Sections 13.1-604, 13.1-804.

The application must be delivered to the Clerk of the Commission with a copy of the corporation's charter

(articles of incorporation and all amendments thereto), authenticated on a recent date by the official having

custody of corporate records in the state or country of incorporation. See Sections 13.1-759, 13.1-921.
