Probably not.  I'm not a Virginia lawyer, but my research suggests that, like most states, unless you work for the government or have a contract, the law doesn't require this.

For more information, based on all of the facts of your case, you might want to talk to a lawyer in your area.  One place to look for an attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
