The Virginia Broker-Dealer Affidavit is a legal document that is used to register a broker-dealer with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. This document must be submitted to the Commission in order to become a licensed broker-dealer in the state of Virginia. The affidavit provides information about the broker-dealer's business operations, history, and financial information. There are two types of Virginia Broker-Dealer Affidavit: Form BD-1 and Form BD-2. Form BD-1 is used when registering a broker-dealer that is not registered in any other jurisdiction. Form BD-2 is used when registering a broker-dealer that is already registered in another jurisdiction. Both forms require information about the broker-dealer, such as ownership information, financial information, and background information. The affidavit must be signed by the broker-dealer's principal executive officer, and must be notarized.
