Using a Virtual Address for an LLC in New Jersey
A commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) or private mailbox (PMB) address can generally be used as an LLC's principal or business address in New Jersey, though this should be verified against the state's current filing rules before submission. New Jersey's LLC formation requirements do permit alternative addresses in certain contexts, but regulations can vary and change. Prospective filers should confirm the specific requirements on the official New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services website before relying on a CMRA address for registration purposes.
However, a CMRA or PMB address cannot be used for the registered agent position. New Jersey requires that a registered agent maintain a staffed, in-state street address where legal process can be hand-delivered during normal business hours. This is a uniform requirement across jurisdictions and serves to ensure that an LLC can reliably receive critical legal documents. The registered agent's address must be a physical location separate from a virtual mailbox service.

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.
