May 11, 2022 -- The Corporations and Charities Filing System (CCFS) is currently experiencing service interruptions. We appreciate your patience as we work to get things back to normal
NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS: May 6, 2022 - CCFS is being updated to reflect changes to nonprofit corporation laws under RCW 24.03A. Currently, all nonprofit filings will be completed by paper forms while we work to provide online filing options. We are processing documents in the order received and there will be delays. If your documents were recently submitted, please disregard any automated late notices while we work to get all records updated on the website. Paper documents must be received in our office before their due date; once they have been entered into the system the record will reflect accurately. If you have any questions concerning this matter please let us know by using one of the methods available on the Contact Us page.
FAQ - Reinstatement (WA)
My Washington business was dissolved. How do I get it reinstated back to active status?
Administrative dissolutions occur for a number of reasons. The most common reason is failure to file an initial or annual report. If your Washington business was administratively dissolved you may file the reinstatement/reactivation paperwork online by creating a user account, logging in, and selecting Reactivate Business in the new Corporations and Charities Filing System (CCFS). Reinstatement fees for Washington profit corporations, LLCs, and LPs are $140 plus all delinquent fees. The Washington nonprofit reinstatement fees are $35 plus all delinquent fees.
Note: Administrative dissolutions for domestic entities have 5 years from the date of dissolution to file the reinstatement.
