Virginia Casino Certification of Business Relationship Guide

Virginia’s Certification of Business Relationship confirms that a casino operator has an actual or intended business relationship with a supplier applicant. The casino—not the vendor—must complete and certify the form before the supplier can receive a Letter of Determination.

Who uses Virginia Certification of Business Relationship?

  • A Virginia casino operator certifying its relationship with a supplier applicant.
  • Casino supplier applicants coordinating the document as part of a Letter of Determination request.
  • Casino licensing and procurement teams describing the goods or services in the relationship.

What to prepare before you start

Build the evidence set first. It is faster and safer than guessing through the PDF and repairing contradictions later.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • The vendor filling out or signing the casino’s certification.
  • Using a brand name instead of the applicant’s legal name.
  • Describing the relationship only as “vendor” without identifying goods or services.
  • Obtaining a signature from someone without authority to certify for the casino.
  • Leaving the notary block incomplete.
  • Assuming the certification itself is the supplier license or Letter of Determination.

PDF technology note

The PDF has no standard form fields. It is intended for print/manual execution. A digital workflow may create a review copy, but the final signature and notarization must follow Virginia’s current instructions.

Privacy and security

The form is less sensitive than a full licensing packet but still reveals commercial relationships and authorized contacts. Share it only within the application workflow.
