Virginia robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Virginia. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect Virginia residents
A federal law covers everyone — and Virginia’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Virginia, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act (Va. Code §§ 59.1-510 to 59.1-518)
How Virginia adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m..
- Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in Virginia
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects everyone in Virginia. In plain English, the TCPA is the national law that makes it illegal for companies to robocall, robotext, or auto-dial your cell phone, or to call any number on the Do Not Call list, without your written permission. When a company breaks that rule, the law lets you collect $500 per illegal call or text, and up to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. Those amounts stack: every separate call or text is its own violation, so a few weeks of robocalls can add up fast.
Virginia layers its own protection on top. Under the Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act (Va. Code §§ 59.1-510 to 59.1-518), telephone solicitors may only call you between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., and they may not call any number on the National Do Not Call Registry without your consent. Virginia does not run a separate state registry; it relies on the national list. The state law also lets you recover $500 per violation, or up to $1,500 for a willful violation, mirroring the federal damages, and a 2025 update (effective January 1, 2026) extended these protections to text messages.

Virginia robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in Virginia?
Yes. The federal TCPA lets Virginia residents sue for $500 to $1,500 per illegal robocall, robotext, or auto-dialed call to a cell phone, and per call to any number on the Do Not Call Registry. Virginia’s own Telephone Privacy Protection Act lets you recover the same $500 to $1,500 per violation under state law. Save your call logs and any voicemails. They are your evidence.
Does Virginia have its own robocall law?
Yes. The Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act (Va. Code §§ 59.1-510 to 59.1-518) limits calling to 8 a.m. through 9 p.m., bars calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, and lets you recover $500 per violation (up to $1,500 if willful). A 2025 amendment extended the law to text messages starting January 1, 2026. You can also bring your own claim under the federal TCPA.
What are Virginia’s calling hours?
Telephone solicitors may only call Virginia consumers between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. A sales call placed before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. violates the Virginia Telephone Privacy Protection Act, and that same call may also break the federal TCPA, which can mean money in your pocket.
Do I need a Virginia lawyer for a robocall case?
Not specifically. The TCPA is a federal law, so you do not need an attorney based in Virginia. Max Morgan represents Virginia residents and brings in local counsel wherever a case requires it. Your review is free, and there is no fee unless you recover.
