Virginia Reinstatement Cost Calculator
Reinstating a Virginia LLC or corporation costs $100 plus every annual registration fee and penalty that was due before cancellation or would have accrued to the reinstatement date. An LLC that missed one year typically owes $175 to the SCC. The window is five years from cancellation, and corporations also file a current annual report.

Worked examples
The LLC rule is § 13.1-1050.4(B); the corporate rule is § 13.1-754. Both look forward to the reinstatement date, so a fee that comes due while you are getting the paperwork together is added too.
| Situation | SCC amount |
|---|---|
| LLC, 1 fee missed | $100 + $50 + $25 = $175 |
| LLC, 2 fees missed | $100 + 2 × $75 = $250 |
| Corporation (5,000 shares), 1 missed | $100 + $50 + $10 = $160 |
| Corporation (25,000 shares), 2 missed | $100 + 2 × ($110 + $11) = $342 |
| Nonstock, 1 missed | $100 + $25 + $10 = $135 |

Virginia reinstatement is $100 plus every annual registration fee and penalty that was due or would have accrued to the reinstatement date, within five years of cancellation (§ 13.1-1050.4). If the name is no longer available, a $25 name amendment is added. This is an estimate; we confirm the exact amount on your SCC record before you pay.
Reinstate my Virginia companyWhat reinstatement restores
The SCC's reinstatement order treats the company as if it had never been canceled, including for liability incurred during the gap (§ 13.1-1050.4(C)). After five years the option closes and a new company has to be formed.

Showing you are current again
After reinstatement, order a $6 Certificate of Fact of Existence for an LLC or Certificate of Good Standing for a corporation for your bank, landlord or licensing office.
Official sourceNot doing this twice
Most cancellations start with a missed assessment notice at an old registered office. A professional registered agent and a reminder in your formation month keep the $50 fee from snowballing into a $175 reinstatement.
Official sourceCheck the name before you pay
While a company is canceled its name is open for someone else to take. If that happened, the SCC will only reinstate with an amendment adopting a new name, which adds $25 for an LLC. Search the SCC's records for your exact name before you send the reinstatement payment, and have a backup name ready. A foreign LLC whose Virginia registration was canceled reinstates the same way: $100 plus the fees and penalties, within five years.
Official sourceFrequently asked questions
Can the SCC waive the penalties?
The statute requires all fees and penalties that would have been assessed. A company that believes a penalty was imposed in error can write to the Clerk, but paid penalties are not refunded.
SourceIs a letter enough to apply?
For an LLC, yes: the application may be a letter that includes the SCC identification number (§ 13.1-1050.4(B)(1)).
SourceDoes a foreign LLC reinstate the same way?
A foreign LLC whose registration was canceled can reinstate within five years by paying $100 plus fees and penalties (§ 13.1-1056.3).
