Serving Verizon in California? We’ve Got You Covered.
Verizon operates through multiple legal entities, and the one you need to serve depends on the nature of your claim.
Make Sure You’re Serving the Right Verizon Entity
Verizon operates through multiple legal entities, and the one you need to serve depends on the nature of your claim. Naming the wrong entity can result in delays, a motion to dismiss, or service that does not hold up in court.
Key Verizon entities include:
Verizon Communications Inc. — the parent holding company, incorporated in Delaware. Commonly named in lawsuits, but it may not be the correct operating entity for your specific claim.
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless — the entity that operates the Verizon Wireless network. If your dispute involves wireless service, a phone contract, or a data plan, this is likely the correct entity.
Verizon Business Network Services LLC — handles enterprise and business communications services.
MCI Communications Services, Inc. (d/b/a Verizon Business) — a legacy entity from Verizon’s acquisition of MCI, still active for certain business telecom services.
Check your service agreement, billing statement, or contract to confirm the exact legal entity name. The entity on the document is the entity that should appear in your lawsuit and be served. All Verizon entities registered in California use CSC at the same Sacramento address.

What is Verizon’s registered agent address in California?

Which Verizon entity should I name for a wireless service dispute?
Verizon’s wireless services are operated by Cellco Partnership, which does business as Verizon Wireless. For most wireless billing disputes, contract issues, or service complaints, Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless is the correct entity. Check your wireless service agreement for the exact legal name, as naming the wrong entity can cause delays.
Can I serve Verizon at a local retail store?
No. Serving documents at a Verizon retail store does not constitute valid service on the corporation. Many Verizon stores are independently owned authorized retailers, which are separate businesses entirely. You must serve Verizon through its registered agent, CSC, at the Sacramento address to ensure proper legal service.
