Corporations info available on new iPhone app

Our cutting-edge Corporations Division is at it again. It just went live with an iPhone app that will allow customers to do corporation searches similar to the Corporations Website from an iPhone. You will be able to find out if a company is registered, if it’s current, what is the UBI, and who are the corporate officers and registered agent.

To download the application, search for “Washington State Corporations Lookup” from within the app store on your iPhone.

Back in May, we blogged about our new Android app that allows you to check on the status of registered Washington corporations from your phone. In fact, we are the first state to offer this info via Android, a feat noted by Public CIO Magazine.

We’re the fifth state to offer corporation info searches on iPhone.

  1. I can’t keep track of all these new iphone apps being created. So does this mean that consumers with iphone can search for all the companies in your area? Sort of like a ‘yellow pages’ phone book but on a phone? very clever. This would be very handy when searching for restaurants etc.

  3. Here is a bit more information about what the app does and what it doesn’t do….

    It does not search based on location, but you can look up registrations with our office if you search by business name or by business UBI number. This search will provide:
    • The original formation date
    • It will show if the business is current with our office or when it was dissolved
    • It will provide the registered agent information for service of process
    And
    • It will list the most recently reported officers of the business/corporate entity.

    It only works for corporate entities like Corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), and Limited Partnerships (LPs). Our office does not register Sole Proprietorships or General Partnerships, those can be found on file with Department of Licensing.

  5. How can the Corporations Division justify the cost for the development of this app? Is the iPhone really that ubiquitous to justify the expenditure of taxpayer dollars?

  6. @Steven – this type of app is not that expensive to develop. Consider this, how many people would you have to employ to answer phones all day and manually provide this information? My guess is that ONE days expense and overhead would cove dev costs.

    I’m with @Crystal, I wish Florida would offer something like this.
