The Washington annual report at a glance
| Washington | |
|---|---|
| Due | Each year by the entity's expiration date: the last day of the month in which the LLC was formed; may be filed up to 180 days early. |
| Fee | $70 (no online processing fee applies to annual reports); $95 with the $25 delinquency fee if received after the due date. The fee rose from $60 (plus a business licensing services fee when applicable) to $70 under WSR 23-18-053, effective October 1, 2023. |

| First report | Within 120 days of formation, an initial report with the same information as the annual report. |
| Reminder | The Secretary of State sends a reminder 30 to 90 days before the deadline, by mail or email, warning that an LLC that doesn't file and pay will be dissolved. A missing reminder doesn't excuse a late report. |

What the report asks for
The LLC's name and where it was formed, its registered agent's name and street and mailing addresses, its principal office's street and mailing addresses, the names of its governors, a brief description of its business and its UBI number, current as of the day it's signed. A new registered agent or agent address on the report counts as a statement of change. A report missing information comes back for correction.
How to file it
- Look up the LLC's record in the Washington business entity search on our sister site or the state's own search: its exact name, status and registered agent.
- File it. With the Washington Secretary of State.
- Pay the fee shown above with the filing.
- Keep the confirmation with the LLC's records, and note next year's due date.
If the report is late or isn't filed
After the Secretary of State's notice, an LLC that hasn't put things right within 60 days is administratively dissolved. A dissolved LLC still exists, but only to wind up or apply for reinstatement, and its registered agent stays in place. Within five years of dissolution, apply for reinstatement and pay every renewal fee missed, a penalty fee and this year's fee. Reinstatement reaches back to the date of dissolution.
Other Washington filings
The report brings the record up to date; changing the LLC itself takes its own filing. Our Washington LLC guide has the state's forms and fees, from the formation filing to the registered agent. Changing an LLC's name and registering in another state list Washington's amendment and foreign filing, and how to dissolve an LLC in Washington covers closing it, which ends the reports. Once the report is filed, a Washington certificate of good standing proves the LLC is current.
