I obviously cannot give you legal advice or advice specific to your situation, but the general procedure that I would recommend for this is that you’d file a conversion (not a dissolution) in DC and file paperwork in VA indicating that you’re converting the DC LLC to a VA LLC (this is different from creating a new entity). That way the existing entity, and its EIN, operating agreement, etc. survive rather than you dissolving it and creating a whole new one. If you do any business in DC or want to keep the business active there, you will need to “qualify” the LLC to do business there as a foreign entity and will need to maintain a registered agent in DC as well.
PP from above and realized I misread your post. If you’re considering moving to DC or MD from VA, you’d do this process in reverse. I would probably recommend moving it to your new state, but if it’s a move within the DC/MD/VA area, then you could also just qualify the LLC in your new state and maintain a registered agent in VA. There may be tax reasons not to do this though, just speaking from the corporate entity perspective.
