Washington Annual Report 2026: Deadlines, Fees & Filing Guide

Washington’s annual report is filed with the Secretary of State’s Corporations & Charities Division and is anniversary-based — so every entity you own has its own due date. New entities also owe an initial report shortly after formation, and lapses move to delinquency and dissolution if left unaddressed.

1. What is the Washington Annual Report?

The Washington annual report is a yearly filing with the Secretary of State’s Corporations & Charities Division that keeps your entity’s information current — registered agent, principal office, and governors/officers — and keeps it active and in good standing. Every domestic and foreign LLC, corporation, and nonprofit registered in Washington must file.

2. Who needs to file in Washington?

• LLCs (domestic and foreign) — every year.
• Corporations (for-profit and professional) — every year.
• Nonprofit corporations — every year ($10 fee).
• New entities — an initial report is due within 120 days of formation, then annually.

4. When is the Washington Deadline?

Washington uses an anniversary-month system: your report is due by the last day of the month your entity was formed or registered in Washington (your “expiration date”). Formed in March? You file every March. You can file up to 180 days before the due date, and the Secretary of State emails/mails a reminder roughly 60 days out. With a different month per entity, multi-entity owners are tracking several deadlines a year.

5. What Happens If You Miss the Washington Deadline?

• Your entity is marked delinquent, and a $25 delinquency fee is added.
• Continued non-filing leads to administrative dissolution (or revocation of a foreign entity’s authority), and you lose good standing.
• Reinstatement costs a $140 penalty for for-profit entities ($35 nonprofits), plus all fees assessed during dissolution and the current year — and must be filed within five years of dissolution.
