Virginia uses the State Corporation Commission for business filings, the Judiciary's Online Case Information for courts, and the Department of Health for vital records. Property and land records sit with circuit courts and local assessors; the State Police run the sex-offender registry.
Good to know: Virginia business filings go through the State Corporation Commission, not the Secretary of State.
