ALXnow has received court authorization to publish legal notices for Alexandria.
A circuit court judge approved the petition from ALXnow publisher Local News Now LLC this past fall. That followed the enactment of a new state law earlier this year that made Virginia the first in the nation to allow legal notices on online-only local news websites.
Legal notices — also known as public notices — will now be published on ALXnow’s homepage, a dedicated landing page, and our email newsletter. Notices can be submitted via an online form and will typically be published within one business day.
ALXnow and sister sites ARLnow and FFXnow are the first online-only sites in the D.C. area to receive such authorization.
