A Washington foreign corporation is governed by: RCW 23B.15.060.

Foreign Washington corporations must file an annual report each year for $59.00 to keep your company active. They are due on the last day of the month you initially qualified your out of State corporation in Washington.

Foreign corporations in Washington must file an initial report after they get their corporations registered. These cost $10.00 and must be filed.

The following information is required to register your out of State corporation:

1. You'll need a certificate of good standing from your home State of incorporation. This is something you order from the agency that governs corporations in your home State. Most States have a Secretary of State like Washington, but in some States like Arizona or New Mexico, a Corporation Commission governs your corporations. The certificate of good standing must be dated within 90 days. It does not have to be an original document.

   Some of the common States and their original filing fees where people come from are:
   

   Oregon	$10.00
   Montana	$5.00
   Idaho	$12.00
   Utah	$12.00
   Wyoming	Free
   Nevada	$60.00
   California:*	$15.00
   *Takes 3-4 weeks, unless you pay $75.00 to expedite

   
   
2. You must use the corporate name exactly as your certificate of good standing reads.
3. If your name is taken, the directors must make a resolution adopting a name to use in Washington State. The corporate Secretary must sign off on the resolution.
4. You must know the date of incorporation. Usually it will be listed on the certificate from your home State of incorporation.
5. You must list your principal place of business.
6. You must choose a date you wish the foreign corporation certificate of authority to become effective.
7. You must know the term of your foreign corporation. Most corporations are perpetual, but if you filed your articles of incorporation with a specific end date, you would list that date. Almost all corporations are perpetual.
8. List the date your corporation began or plans on beginning to do business in Washington State. Keep in mind, if you list a date in the past, you will owe the previous year's annual reports and late fees to register your foreign corporation in Washington State. Most people put a future date.
9. You must have a Washington registered agent. We provide Washington registered agent service for only $65.00 a year. That includes annual report reminders, scanned documents are loaded into your account immediately, and there's no hidden fees. We provide the cheapest Washington registered agent services, and the most included services.
10. You must list the directors, President, Treasurer, and Secretary of the Corporation. One of these officers or directors of the foreign corporation must sign the document.

You can file your foreign corporation to do business in Washington State on your own and just hire us as your Washington registered agent, or we can do the filing for you.

We'll have your company registered in days. It's that simple. The odds are that 7 out of 10 foreign corporations registering in Washington mess something up, and their filings get rejected. We would be glad to help you either way as the registered agent only or us doing the whole thing for you.
