Understanding Registered Agent Requirements in Washington

Every business entity registered with the Washington Secretary of State — including LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits — is generally expected to maintain a registered agent in Washington. A registered agent accepts legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your business.

The Washington Secretary of State sets specific requirements for registered agents. They may not use PO boxes, private mailboxes, or virtual offices. The registered agent must have a physical office in Washington and be available during regular business hours. Individuals serving as registered agents must be Washington residents who are at least 18 years old. Business entities serving as registered agents must be authorized to operate in Washington and maintain a physical office location.

Washington distinguishes between commercial and noncommercial registered agents in its regulations, recognizing that professional registered agent services operate differently from individuals serving in this capacity.

Why Businesses Choose Professional Registered Agent Service

Save Money Compared to Other Providers Many registered agent services charge between $125 and $436 annually. Washington Registered Agent delivers the same core services — document receipt, forwarding, compliance tracking — for $99 per year. That's real savings that add up over the life of your business.

Keep Your Address Private When you serve as your own registered agent, your home or business address appears on public records with the Washington Secretary of State. Anyone can search these records online. Using Washington Registered Agent means our address appears on public filings instead, protecting your privacy.

Never Miss Important Documents We maintain presence at your registered office during regular business hours to receive service of process, legal documents, and government correspondence. When documents arrive, we scan and forward them to you the same day. You'll get an email notification immediately and can access documents through your secure online portal.

Stay on Top of Compliance Deadlines Washington businesses file annual reports with the Washington Secretary of State, with a current filing fee of $70. We track these deadlines and send reminders so you stay aware of when reports are due. While we don't file reports for you, our reminders help you avoid late penalties and maintain good standing.

Maintain Flexibility as Your Business Grows Your registered agent address stays constant even when your business circumstances change. Whether you move offices, shift to remote work, or expand to new locations, your registered office remains stable. This simplifies compliance and reduces the need to update state records every time your situation changes.

How Washington Registered Agent Works

Sign up takes just a few minutes. Once enrolled, we provide your Washington registered office address. If you're forming a new entity, list Washington Registered Agent as your registered agent on formation documents filed with the Washington Secretary of State. If you have an existing business, file a change of registered agent form with the state. Washington doesn't charge a filing fee for registered agent changes.

We begin monitoring your registered office immediately. When mail arrives — whether service of process, government notices, or other official correspondence — we scan it the same day and email it to you. All documents are also stored in your online portal for easy reference.

Our system tracks Washington compliance requirements, including annual report deadlines. We send reminders before these deadlines so you have time to prepare and file. When the Washington Secretary of State sends official notices to your registered office, you'll receive them promptly through our forwarding service.
