To do business in Washington, an LLC formed in Arizona registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $200 in state fees.

From Arizona to Washington, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Washington counts 60 days from the day Arizona issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Washington registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Arizona's certificate is in hand, Washington's filing goes in. After approval, your Arizona LLC is registered with Washington.
