NY LLC Service of Process: Mailbox, PO Box, Virtual Address
A mailbox store works by named box holders; New York's record for an LLC may not show that name.
This page covers one question: a mailbox store, a PO box, a virtual mailbox or a virtual office as a New York LLC's service of process address. The NY LLC Law's word for this address is "post office address" (§206(a)(4)), and New York's record holds PO boxes and buildings that house mailbox stores at this address. No Department of State form or page LLC Publishers read, as of November 2026, states a rule for or against any of these address types.
What differs is how the mail reaches the LLC. On New York's own filing record, about 1 in 4 new LLCs list "THE LLC" as the name on this address, most sent that way by filing services, and New York's Active Corporations open data prints the company's name in their place. USPS's format for mail to a mailbox store asks for the addressee's "name or other identification" and "PMB" (private mailbox) or "#"; USPS's rule for a PO box speaks of "any mail properly addressed to the box number".
This address also prints in the LLC's publication notice, in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks. LLC Publishers publishes LLC notices in all 62 New York counties, reads the LLC's Department of State record when it prepares the notice, and files the Certificate of Publication through eCorp, the State's online filing system, as a service company: a business that files documents with the Department of State for others. LLC Publishers' price is one fixed, one-time total determined by the county listed in the LLC's Articles of Organization, from $395, and each order carries its guarantee: Certificate of Publication delivered, or our service fee back.
The record in numbers:
- About 1 in 4: 3,956 of the 15,807 domestic LLC Articles of Organization approved October 5 to November 3, 2026 (25.0%) list "THE LLC" as the name on this address on New York's own filing record. Most were sent that way by filing services, and New York's Active Corporations open data prints the company's name in their place.
- 2 of 486: on LLC Articles New York keyed by hand in October 2026, 2 of 486 show the LLC's own name on this line and 387 read "the llc". Filed online, the line stays as typed.
- More than 13,000: 13,708 active New York LLCs and PLLCs give a building that houses a mailbox store as their address for legal papers, by LLC Publishers' match of New York's open data to a national chain's published locations. These are buildings, not boxes. Of the 10,782 that name no agent or law firm, 3,758 (34.9%) read "THE LLC" on the State's filing record.
- About 1 in 5: on New York's filing record, 2,212 (20.5%) of the 10,782 active LLCs at mailbox-store buildings that name no agent or law firm write the box without "PMB" or "#" and name "THE LLC" as the addressee. USPS's format asks for the addressee's "name or other identification" and "PMB" or "#" (Domestic Mail Manual 508.1.8.3), and a mailbox store "must return" mail for an addressee with no Form 1583 on file (DMM 508.1.8.4); DMM 508 does not say whether "THE LLC" counts as a named box holder.
- About 3,600 to 4,300 a year: new New York LLCs listing a PO box on this address from 2015 to 2025, apart from a data gap in 2021 and 2022, by LLC Publishers' count of New York Department of State open data, November 2026. At least 62,843 active domestic LLCs list one (NY Open Data, Active Corporations dataset, read October 22, 2026).
The Service of Process Address, in Brief
Section 206(a)(4) puts this address in the notice; the filing receipt calls it the "SERVICE OF PROCESS ADDRESS".
"Process" means legal papers, such as a summons. This page is about the mailbox-type address only. LLC Publishers' other guides cover the general topic: who can see an LLC publication notice, the NY LLC filing receipt, forming an LLC in New York, what Section 203 requires in the Articles of Organization, what the publication notice must contain, whether a registered agent is worth it for privacy and when a registered agent keeps an address off a notice.
Mailbox Store, Virtual Mailbox, Virtual Office, PO Box: The Address Types Compared
Five of these six address types give a street address; what differs is who takes the mail.
As read November 6, 2026. The DMM is the USPS Domestic Mail Manual (section 508); a CMRA is its term for a mailbox store, and an OBC is an office business center. Which address suits an LLC is the owner's call.
| Address type | Street address? | Whose name the source asks for | Certified mail | Where it shows publicly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mailbox store | Yes: the store's street address, with "PMB" or "#" and a box number (DMM 508.1.8.3) | Each addressee, on a PS Form 1583 (DMM 508.1.8.4) | One store's terms: it "will accept all mail, including registered, insured, and certified items" | State's record; notice item (4) |
| Virtual mailbox | Yes: a provider's street address, with a box number | Recipients on a PS Form 1583; one provider also accepts mail by "mailbox number" | Differs by provider (terms below) | State's record; notice item (4) |
| Virtual office | Yes: a center's street address | USPS: "OBCs are considered CMRAs for Postal Service purposes" (DMM 508.1.8.1) | Differs by provider (terms below) | State's record; notice item (4) |
| PO box | No: a box number. USPS Street Addressing, "if available", pairs the Post Office's street address with the box number | "any mail properly addressed to the box number" (DMM 508.4.3.1); people who receive mail there "must be listed on Form 1093" (DMM 508.4.2.1) | USPS: "we'll leave a delivery notice inside your PO Box, and you'll go to the counter to sign" (archive) | State's record; notice item (4) |
| A registered agent's address | Yes: form DOS-1359-f asks for "The street address of the registered agent" | Set by the agent's agreement with the LLC | A registered agent forwards papers under its own agreement with the LLC | State's record; notice items (4) and (5) |
| A home | Yes | USPS: mail may go to the addressee, a family member or an authorized person (DMM 508.1.4.1) | The recipient signs (DMM 508.1.1.7) | State's record; notice item (4) |
The Name Above a Mailbox Address: Why the Record Can Say "THE LLC"
The name above a mailbox address comes from the filing; most "THE LLC" lines are filing services' text.
On a filing with a mailbox-type address, this line sits directly above the box. The paper Articles form, DOS-1336-f (Rev. 12/22), has one blank for the address and no separate name field. In a 20% systematic sample of new LLC Articles, the whole line read "THE LLC" on 35.8% in 2015 and 23.9% in 2026 to November 4; the State's address dataset has no process rows for Articles filed from June 2021 to January 2023. Receipts print this line in upper case, so a receipt cannot show "THE LLC" against "the llc".
Filed online, the line stays as typed; keyed by hand, it rarely shows the LLC's name
Filed online, the line stays as typed (152 of 152 online filings checked against their receipts). Among the Articles approved October 5 to November 3, 2026, 86% of upper-case "THE LLC" lines came from filers with 50 or more Articles, while one-time individual filers typed "THE LLC" on 1.4% and "The LLC" on 0.6% of 4,943 Articles.
By two markers in the State's data, lower-case text and approval after the filing date, New York keys about 490 LLC Articles a month by hand, about 3% of new LLCs. On those keyed in October 2026, the line read:
| The name on the line | Articles keyed by hand, October 2026 |
|---|---|
| "the llc" | 387 of 486 (79.6%) |
| An organization | 51 (10.5%) |
| A person | 36 (7.4%) |
| The LLC's own name | 2 (0.4%) |
| Other lines | 10 (2.1%) |
The data shows the line, not the reason for it.
Why New York's open data shows the company's name instead
New York's Active Corporations open data (n9v6-gdp6) prints the company's name wherever the State's record reads exactly "THE LLC" or "THE CORPORATION", in any case: every such line in a fresh sample of 916 LLCs, read November 5, 2026. The dataset's documentation does not mention this. The State's daily filing data (k4vb-judh) and filing receipts keep the line.
Mailbox Stores and PMBs: The USPS Rules on the Name and the Box Number
USPS calls a mailbox store a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency, and each addressee there goes on a PS Form 1583.
DMM 508.1.8 defines a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) as "a business that, in whole or in part, accepts the delivery of U.S. Mail on behalf of another person or entity as a business service." USPS sets out the address this way (DMM 508.1.8.3):
| Line | The DMM's words | USPS's examples |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intended addressee's name or other identification | JOE DOE or ABC CO. |
| 2 | "PMB" and number or the alternative "#" (pound sign) and number | PMB 234 or #234 |
| 3 | Street number and name or Post Office box number or rural route designation and number | 10 MAIN ST STE 11 |
| 4 | City, state, and ZIP Code (5-digit or ZIP+4) | HERNDON VA 22071-2716 |
Two rules sit behind that format, read November 6, 2026. "If the CMRA has no Form 1583 on file for the intended addressee, the CMRA must return that mail" (DMM 508.1.8.4). "The USPS may return mail without a proper address to the sender endorsed "Undeliverable as Addressed, Missing PMB or # Sign."" (DMM 508.1.8.3)
PS Form 1583 (June 2024) has one field for a business's name, item 7a, "Name of Business/Organization". USPS's 2023 final rule (88 FR 32112) says the applicant "must also list the name and address of the business/organization".
What the USPS rules do not say
Line 1 of DMM 508's format reads "Intended addressee's name or other identification", and DMM 508 does not say whether "THE LLC" above a correct box number counts as an addressee with no form on file. PS Form 1583 has no line for an abbreviated or generic name.
Virtual Mailboxes and Virtual Offices: What Providers' Own Terms Say
One provider accepts mail by box number; another "will not accept process on a member's behalf".
USPS's definition also covers reshipping services and office business centers (DMM 508.1.8.1). Which provider is registered as a CMRA at a given address is not something these pages show.
On a virtual mailbox, Anytime Mailbox says its partner accepts mail "addressed to your name, business name, or mailbox number" as long as the account is "fully verified". VirtualPostMail says it returns mail "when mail comes in without a mailbox number and we are unable to find a partial unique match of the name in our system" (archive); that sentence does not cover a correct box number above an unmatched name.
On a virtual office, WeWork's Business Address page says "Registered office is not permitted in the US." Regus's pages read differently from one another; all three are in the table.
Provider terms, in each provider's own words (read November 6, 2026)
The mail providers above that publish terms repeat USPS's Form 1583 rule in their own words, and several charge for added names or recipients.
PO Boxes on a New York LLC's Service of Process Address
New York's statute says "post office address" here; "street address" is its word for other items.
The statute says "post office address" in the Articles (§203(e)(4)), the notice (§206(a)(4)) and the State's mailing (§303(a)(1)), and "street address" for the principal business location (§206(a)(3-a)) and a registered agent (§211(d)(5)). No Department of State form or page LLC Publishers read, as of November 2026, mentions a post office box.
By LLC Publishers' count of New York Department of State open data, about 3,600 to 4,300 new LLC Articles a year listed a PO box on this address from 2015 to 2025, apart from a data gap in 2021 and 2022. By the two markers in the State's data, at least 34 of the 419 PO-box Articles approved October 5 to November 3, 2026 were keyed by Department of State staff in review. On 164 of the 419 (39.1%, PLLCs included) the line reads "THE LLC", against 25.0% of all new domestic LLC Articles in that window.
USPS's PO box rule speaks of the box number: "any individual box customer or organization may receive through the box any mail properly addressed to the box number" (DMM 508.4.3.1). Representatives of an organization who receive mail in the box "must be listed on Form 1093" (DMM 508.4.2.1). A mailbox store works by named box holders. What a post office counter does with certified mail whose first line names no one on Form 1093 is not written in DMM 508.
LLC Publishers' guide to the notice has what the State's records show about a post office box.
How New York Mails Legal Papers to the Address on File
New York sends legal papers by certified mail; LLC Publishers found no written source on the envelope's first line.
LLC Law §303(a)(1), as in force until February 24, 2027, covers papers served on the Secretary of State by personal delivery: "The secretary of state shall promptly send one of such copies by certified mail, return receipt requested, to such limited liability company at the post office address on file in the department of state specified for that purpose." Section 303(a)(2) adds an email route when the LLC has an email address on file.
Neither the statute nor the Department of State's pages say what prints above the address on the envelope.
When the Name on the Record Is Not the Name on the Box
When the record's name and the box's name differ, legal papers may not reach the LLC.
123 SAMPLE STREET, PMB 234
ALBANY, NY, 12207, USA
SAMPLE VENTURES LLC
A mailbox store's box is tied to the names on its PS Form 1583, and New York's record for the same LLC may read "THE LLC". Whether a store treats "THE LLC" as an addressee with no form on file, and what prints on the State's envelope, are not written anywhere LLC Publishers found, and providers' terms differ.
The stakes are legal papers, not ordinary mail. The Department of State's FAQ page says: "Filing a Biennial Statement affords a corporation or LLC the opportunity of updating their address for service of process and avoiding the possibility of a default judgement."
LLC Publishers' guide covers what the statutes say when an LLC never receives the papers. A New York attorney is the person to ask about papers served on a particular LLC.
What to Look at for a Mailbox Address
A mailbox store's rule on names is not on New York's record.
These facts bear on a mailbox address as a New York LLC's address for legal papers. The choice of address is the owner's.
- The store's rule on names. If your mailbox store's contract or staff say mail must carry your name or your company's name, that matters here: New York's record for your LLC may read "THE LLC" instead of your company's name, so mail from the State may not reach you.
- The first line on the record. The filing receipt prints it under "SERVICE OF PROCESS ADDRESS :". New York's Active Corporations open data prints the company's name where the record reads exactly "THE LLC".
- The box line. USPS's format uses "PMB" or "#"; where the store's own address has a suite, "the CMRA customer must use "PMB" in the three-line format" (DMM 508.1.8.3). One virtual-mail provider tells its customers: "Do not relabel your private mailbox as an office suite to satisfy a filing or verification check."
- The names on the PS Form 1583. Item 7a has one field for a business's name, and the form lists people separately.
- Who signs for certified mail, and what the provider says about filings. Terms differ, as the provider terms above show.
- What happens when a box closes. A designated address "shall continue until the filing of a certificate or other instrument under this chapter directing the mailing to a different post office address" (§301(c)).
How LLC Publishers Publishes and Updates the Address
LLC Publishers publishes with the address on record; when directed, it files the change first.
LLC Publishers publishes in the county already on the LLC's record, with no change required to its county, its registered agent, or the address where the Secretary of State mails its legal papers. When the owner designates a different New York county for the LLC's office, LLC Publishers files the Certificate of Change first, then publishes in that county. LLC Publishers serves all 62 New York counties.
Updating the address for legal papers before publishing
Separately from publication and county changes, LLC Publishers can file a Certificate of Change to update an LLC's address for legal papers, for $100 with the $30 State fee included. It is not needed to publish or to change the county. What the name line reads afterward is the Department of State's entry. To request it, contact LLC Publishers.
An owner can also change the address directly, with a Certificate of Change (form DOS-1359-f, $30 filing fee, LLC Law §211-A). LLC Publishers' guides cover the Biennial Statement route and the 120 days and whether a later address change means publishing again.
What LLC Publishers' service covers
Can an owner publish without a service? Yes. It takes reading the LLC's record and filing receipt, finding the newspapers designated by the county clerk, placing both notices, collecting the affidavits of publication (each newspaper's sworn statement that the notice ran), and filing the Certificate of Publication with the $50 state filing fee, as the full publication guide sets out.
Doing it yourself vs. LLC Publishers
Doing it yourself costs $180-$2,300+ in newspaper fees depending on the county, but that buys the insertions and nothing else. Our price is a flat $395–$1,795 for the county you file in, all-inclusive, and it ends with a filed Certificate of Publication in your hands.
| Doing it yourself | With LLC Publishers |
|---|---|
| Newspaper fees: $180-$2,300+ | $395–$1,795 flat, all-inclusive — the figure depends on your county |
| $50 state filing fee | Included |
| In Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx you request the newspaper designation from the County Clerk and wait for whichever papers they assign. In every other county you look up the designated list yourself and confirm it is current. | We handle either one — we request the designation where the clerk assigns the papers, and confirm the county's current designated list everywhere else |
| You work out which of the eight NY Department of State forms applies to your entity type, and complete it correctly | We prepare the right form for your entity type and file it |
| You mail it to the Department of State, as its instructions say. The Department has told us it can take about a week to reach the right department, where it is scanned by hand before review. | We file electronically through the State's eCorp system as a service company. It reaches the Department the moment we submit it, with nothing to mail, print or scan. |
| You chase both newspapers for the affidavits, and pay their affidavit and notarization fees | We collect them and the fees are included |
| Wrong ad copy, or an insertion the paper misses through a press problem, means publishing again and paying again | We fix it at our cost and guarantee the work — you never pay twice |
| 10-15 hours of your time | We handle every step |
| Total: $230-$2,350+ for newspapers and the state fee, plus 10-15 hours of your time | $395–$1,795 flat for your county — everything above included, through to your filed Certificate of Publication |
What your price covers
- Newspaper designation — we request it from the County Clerk where the clerk assigns your papers, and confirm the county's current designated list everywhere else
- Ad placement — we submit your notice to one daily and one weekly newspaper
- Scheduling — we get all six weekly insertions booked
- Six-week monitoring — we track every insertion to confirm it ran
- Affidavits — we collect the notarized affidavits of publication, and pay the newspapers' affidavit and notarization charges
- Certificate of Publication — we prepare the form and file it with the NY Department of State, including the $50 state fee
- Follow-ups — we chase the newspapers, the clerk and the Department of State throughout
- Delivery — we send you the filed Certificate of Publication, backed by a 100% money-back guarantee
LLC Publishers' service covers both newspapers for six consecutive weeks, the notarized affidavits of publication, and the Certificate of Publication with the $50 state filing fee. In Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, it also covers the county clerk's assignment of the newspapers. The price is one fixed, one-time total determined by the county listed in the LLC's Articles of Organization, from $395. A customer is never quoted a statewide range.
LLC Publishers' estimate for the whole process is about 8 to 10 weeks: six weeks of publication, about 1 to 2 weeks for the affidavits and about 1 to 2 weeks for the Department of State. The newspapers and the State set their own pace, so these are estimates.
As of November 2026, LLC Publishers has handled 1,514 New York LLC publications; completed orders took a median of 57 days from order to Certificate of Publication delivery. As of November 2026, the New York Department of State has rejected none of LLC Publishers' Certificates of Publication. LLC Publishers is a BBB Accredited Business. As of November 2026, LLC Publishers is rated 5.0 out of 5 from 378 Google reviews. Each order carries LLC Publishers' guarantee: Certificate of Publication delivered, or our service fee back.
An LLC Publishers order is placed online at llcpublishers.com, at the fixed total for the county on the LLC's record.
Publishing a New York LLC notice?
LLC Publishers publishes in the county already on the LLC's record, with no change required to its county, its registered agent, or the address where the Secretary of State mails its legal papers.
Get StartedHow LLC Publishers Measured This
- Texts: NY LLC Law quoted verbatim from the State Senate's site; §303(a)(1) as in force until February 24, 2027, and the next version keeps the sentence. Department of State pages, DMM 508 and provider pages read November 6, 2026. Each "archive" link opens the Internet Archive's copy of that page, and the date of that copy can differ from the read date. LLC Publishers keeps a dated copy of each page it read.
- Daily filing data (k4vb-judh), read November 5, 2026. "THE LLC" means the whole line, in any case. Forms such as "c/o the LLC" raise 3,956 to 4,037 (25.5%). Rows show the current record, which moved about 1% of rows.
- All Filings: Address (2tms-hftb) and All Filings (63wc-4exh), read November 4 and 5, 2026: the line as filed, the yearly shares and the PO-box counts. Process rows are missing from June 2021 to January 2023, so 2021 and 2022 are left out of the PO-box range and 2023's 4,340 lacks January.
- "Keyed by hand" is LLC Publishers' inference from two markers on the as-filed line: lower-case text and approval after the filing date. The "at least 34" PO boxes use the same markers. The 152 online filings are forms attached to receipts LLC Publishers holds.
- "A generic line" includes "THE LLC", "THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY", "c/o" forms, "THE PLLC" and "THE COMPANY".
- PO boxes: a line counts when it starts with a post office box spelling; rural routes and a street followed by "BOX" are left out. The 62,843 is the lower bound LLC Publishers publishes from Active Corporations. The 419 include PLLCs.
- Active Corporations (n9v6-gdp6), read November 5, 2026: the swap test and the store match. Reads of the Department of State's Public Inquiry records matched the daily filing data on 41 of 41 LLCs; LLC Publishers has not confirmed how the Public Inquiry web page displays this line.
- The mailbox-store match: a national chain's New York store locator gave 273 store pages. For each, LLC Publishers looked for active domestic LLCs and PLLCs in the store's ZIP code at the same street number and first street word; 260 stores had a match. "Name no agent or law firm" means no organization on the open-data name line, with a raw line from LLC Publishers' copy of Department of State records or the latest address filing.
- Where the match can be wrong: a match shows a building, not a box holder. An AI model read 30 random matches: 26 looked like store boxes, none was a clear office tenant, 2 were person-named filing hubs and 2 were ambiguous. Office-style suite numbers bound other tenants at 277 of the 2,558 rows with a generic line and no "PMB" or "#". Of the 10,782, 4,361 (40.4%) carry a generic line of any form; lines filed before 2015 are mostly generic (75.6%), and the share on later lines is 33.1%. Active Corporations alone shows 422 of those 2,558.
FAQ
Can a UPS Store mailbox be a New York LLC's service of process address?
New York's record shows LLCs giving a building that houses a mailbox store as their address for legal papers, and the NY LLC Law's word for that address is "post office address" (§206(a)(4)). No Department of State form or page LLC Publishers read, as of November 2026, states a rule for or against a mailbox store. USPS asks for each addressee on a PS Form 1583, and New York's record for an LLC may read "THE LLC". USPS's rules do not say whether "THE LLC" counts as a named box holder, and locations "are independently owned and operated by franchisees of The UPS Store, Inc."
Can a virtual mailbox be a New York LLC's address for service of process?
New York's filing record shows the address, not what kind of address it is, and no Department of State form or page LLC Publishers read, as of November 2026, states a rule for or against a virtual mailbox. USPS treats a business that accepts mail for others as a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency, with a PS Form 1583 for each addressee. Providers' own terms differ on names, certified mail and filings.
Can a virtual office be a New York LLC's service of process address?
Office providers' own pages differ, so the answer starts with the provider's terms. One provider's business address page says "Registered office is not permitted in the US." Another provider's rules page says its virtual office plans "cannot be used for a registered legal business address in the United States", while its New York page speaks of "registered office addresses that comply with local regulations".
Does New York accept a PO box as an LLC's service of process address?
The Department of State's record shows that it has: by LLC Publishers' count of New York Department of State open data, about 3,600 to 4,300 new LLC Articles a year listed a PO box on this address from 2015 to 2025, apart from a data gap in 2021 and 2022. That is what the Department accepted, not a statement of what the law allows. The NY LLC Law's word for the address is "post office address" (§206(a)(4)), and LLC Publishers' notice guide has the active count.
Why does THE LLC on a New York filing receipt matter at a mailbox store?
A mailbox store's box is tied to the names on its PS Form 1583, so the name on that form and the name on the State's record can differ. On New York's own filing record, about 1 in 4 new LLCs list "THE LLC" as the name on the service of process address, most sent that way by filing services. New York's Active Corporations open data prints the company's name in their place, so a search there will not show it.
Does a mailbox store accept mail addressed to THE LLC?
USPS's rules do not settle it. The rule says "If the CMRA has no Form 1583 on file for the intended addressee, the CMRA must return that mail" (DMM 508.1.8.4), and it does not say whether "THE LLC" above a correct box number counts as such an addressee. One virtual-mailbox provider says its partners accept mail addressed to a "mailbox number".
Does LLC Publishers require a New York LLC to change a mailbox address before publishing?
No. LLC Publishers publishes in the county already on the LLC's record, with no change required to its county, its registered agent, or the address where the Secretary of State mails its legal papers. When the owner designates a different New York county for the LLC's office, LLC Publishers files the Certificate of Change first, then publishes in that county. LLC Publishers serves all 62 New York counties. LLC Publishers reads the LLC's Department of State record when it prepares the notice.
Can LLC Publishers change a New York LLC's service of process address before publishing?
Yes. Separately from publication and county changes, LLC Publishers can file a Certificate of Change to update an LLC's address for legal papers, for $100 with the $30 State fee included. It is not needed to publish or to change the county. What the name line reads afterward is the Department of State's entry. To request it, contact LLC Publishers.

This article is general information, not legal advice. Laws and Department of State procedures change, and how they apply to a particular LLC depends on its facts. Provider terms change too, and the quotes here are dated. For a question about your own LLC's address or legal papers served on it, consult a New York attorney. LLC Publishers is a document filing service, not a law firm.
