Washington Foreign Registration / About
About this Washington service
Washington Foreign Registration helps companies formed outside Washington register with the Secretary of State, with a certificate that is still in date when the statement is filed.
What an order covers
You answer a short questionnaire. We write the Foreign Registration Statement, order the home certificate to fit the sixty-day window and file it with the Secretary of State.
What falls outside it
Whether an activity is doing business, and which Washington taxes apply, are for a Washington lawyer or accountant to say.
