Open official certificate service ↗Washington certificate fees and delivery
Washington Certificates of Existence are ordered through CCFS and the current certificate fee is displayed by document/route; the reviewed extract did not expose one universal 2026 amount. Online delivery is generally fastest and the certificate reflects Secretary status, not tax clearance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Washington certified copies are document-specific through CCFS; the reviewed 2026 public pages did not expose a universal flat-plus-page formula. Request the exact record and confirm certification, page, delivery, and expedite charges at checkout.
Washington apostilles and authentication
Washington apostille/authentication requests begin at https://www.sos.wa.gov/office-secretary-state/apostilles. Submit an eligible certified Washington record, destination-country information, payment, and Olympia mail/in-person instructions; verify current fee and processing time on the live page.
Which document should you order?
- Proof of current registry standing
- Ask for the state’s certificate of status, existence, or good standing. It is different from a public search result and may not establish tax clearance.
- Proof of what was filed
- Order a certified copy of the specific formation document, amendment, or other filing requested.
- A document for use abroad
- Ask the receiving authority whether it requires an apostille or another form of authentication, and whether it accepts electronic documents.
Check the record before ordering
Confirm the legal name, entity number, and recipient’s required issue date. A missed report or other delinquency may need to be resolved before a certificate can be issued.
