The LLC 1078 form is used by Virginia limited liability companies (LLCs) intending to domesticate under the laws of another jurisdiction. It serves as a formal document for the company to surrender its Articles of Organization as part of the process to change its jurisdiction, ensuring compliance with both the laws of Virginia and the new jurisdiction. This form streamlines the transition, capturing necessary details about the company and the domestication process. For LLCs, this entails revoking the registered agent’s authority in Virginia and aligning with the new locale's legal structure.
To utilize the LLC 1078 form effectively, an LLC must thoroughly complete sections detailing its current status, intended jurisdiction, and approval by its members. Begin by obtaining unanimous consent or a majority approval from members, as specified in the operating agreement or state laws. Fill in all mandatory fields, ensuring accuracy, as this information is subject to verification. Once completed, the form serves as the official record for surrendering the Articles of Organization in Virginia.
The LLC 1078 form is legally binding and must comply with Virginia's legal requirements for LLC domestication. It formalizes the company's intent to operate under a new jurisdiction while ensuring all prior obligations in Virginia are concluded. By revoking the authority of the registered agent in Virginia, the form facilitates a smooth transition of legal and operational responsibilities to the new jurisdiction.
In Virginia, the domestication process involves precise documentation and procedural compliance. The LLC 1078 form must be filed with the Virginia SCC, accompanied by any applicable fees. The form must be filled out with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the Virginia Code’s specifics. Each section of the form must match the state’s outlined expectations to be accepted and processed.
Primarily used by LLCs that are looking to move their business operations from Virginia to another jurisdiction, this process often attracts companies seeking more favorable regulatory environments or operational efficiencies. Professional legal counsel or an experienced LLC representative typically manages the filing process to ensure compliance and accuracy.


Failing to properly file the LLC 1078 form can result in significant penalties, including legal disputes over jurisdictional authority, fines, and potential complications in the LLC’s operations within the new jurisdiction. Non-compliance can also result in the Virginia SCC not recognizing the domestication, leaving the registered agent in an unauthorized and unregulated status.
