How Wyoming companies register with Washington

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Ordered from Wyoming on filing day, it easily meets Washington's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Washington registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Wyoming delays the Washington filing. Once Washington approves it, the Wyoming company can do business there.
