Washington Registration By Qualification is a process that enables foreign companies to register and do business in the state of Washington, USA. It is an alternative to the standard LLC registration process and allows certain companies to register and conduct business in Washington without having to form a separate entity, such as an LLC. There are two types of Washington Registration By Qualification: Qualifying Business Entity Registration and Foreign Qualifying LLC Registration. Qualifying Business Entity Registration is for businesses that are already established in another state, while Foreign Qualifying LLC Registration is for businesses that are incorporated in a foreign country. Both types of registration require the applicant to submit documents, such as articles of incorporation, business license, and a certificate of authority, to the Washington Secretary of State. Additionally, applicants may need to pay fees, provide additional information, or obtain other documents to complete the registration process.
