To reserve a specific name for a future company, an individual must first check with Washington Secretary of State if that name is available. If available, a name can be reserved by filing a special "Company Name Reservation" application, and it's usually processed within 12 weeks.
Reservation Period
Washington Secretary of State will reserve a company name for a period of 180 days. After that the reservation must be renewed.
Things To Remember
When reserving a name in Washington one must use the name with appropriate company identifier (to learn more about specific identifiers, acceptable for filing in Washington please visit our Washington LLC, corporation or nonprofit pages).
IMPORTANT! Company name reservation is NOT the same thing as company registration. Reservation only gives you the right to register a company with the reserved name, and this right is withrawn after a certain period of time.
