To apply for an initial Washington state CPA license through foreign reciprocity, you must provide all required information, documents, and fees to the board either by making application through the board's online application system or on a form provided by the board upon request.
You must provide all requested information, documents, and fees to the board before the application will be evaluated.
Upon assessment of your qualifications and approval of your application, your license status will be posted in the board's licensee database and, therefore, made publicly available for confirmation. A hard copy of your license can be provided upon request.
Your Washington state CPA license will expire on June 30 of the third calendar year following the calendar year of initial licensure.
You may not use the title CPA until your status has been posted to the board's licensee database and, therefore, made available to the public.
