24.12.051 - Notice of annual report requirement -- Rules. - Washington Statutes

Notice of annual report requirement — Rules.

(1) Not less than thirty days prior to a corporation sole's renewal date, the secretary of state shall mail to each corporation sole, by first-class mail addressed to its registered office, a notice that its annual report must be filed as required by this chapter, and stating that if it fails to file its annual report it shall be dissolved or its certificate of authority revoked, as the case may be. Failure of the secretary of state to mail the notice does not relieve a corporation sole from its obligation to file the annual reports required by this chapter.

     (2)(a) The report of a corporation sole shall be delivered to the secretary of state on an annual renewal date as the secretary of state may establish. The secretary of state may adopt rules to establish biennial reporting dates and to stagger reporting dates.

     (b) If the secretary of state finds that the report substantially conforms to the requirements of this chapter, the secretary of state shall file that report.
