How Nevada companies register with Washington

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Washington counts 60 days from the day Nevada 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 Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Nevada certificate comes first; then the Washington filing goes in. Once Washington approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.
