United Corporate Services (UCS) provides reliable, nationwide registered agent services, including in Washington, backed by more than 50 years of experience and a proprietary network trusted by thousands of clients.
A registered agent is the official point of contact your company designates to receive Service of Process, legal notices, and tax correspondence.

By appointing UCS, you gain same-day document delivery, real-time alerts, and the confidence that your entity remains in good standing from day one.
Under Washington state law, every registered business entity is legally required to appoint and continuously maintain a registered agent. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a mandatory requirement for doing business in the state. Your formation documents will be rejected if a registered agent is not listed.
Your Washington Registered Agent serves as your official point of contact with the state and the public, performing several critical duties:
Using a professional service like UCS for your Washington LLC Registered Agent keeps your personal address off public records and ensures compliance with the state’s 60-day change-of-agent deadline.
