We now offer routine service for filing(s) at the office of the Washington Secretary of State Corporation Division (SOS). Filings will be hand-carried to the SOS office, and will not require the $50.00 statutory fee that is charged by the division for expedited filings.
Routine service turnaround time is generally 2 weeks or more, depending on the state’s workload. If a filing is rejected, we will not be notified until the state has processed the filing. Additionally, the original date of submission is no longer in effect. At any time prior to processing you may upgrade your filing(s) to an expedited basis for the additional statutory fee of $50.00 per filing. The change to expedite must be executed through Fairchild. We will advance the expedite fee and bill you for that fee upon completion of the filing processing.
*Our standard fee for filing still applies on routine service, but statutory fees must be advanced by you or your client. This service may not be available in other states based upon their policies. Please call for details.

Many entities have annual reports coming due in FL by the end of April, as is the case each year in FL. But you may want to take special note this year and be aware that FL has discontinued it’s former practice of allowing the filer to avoid late fees by checking a box indicating that the notice to file was not received by the entity. Florida late fees are a steep $ 400 for LLCs, LPs and For-Profit Corporations, so it will pay to get filed on time this year and going forward!

Changes to paper and online searches
We recently implemented several changes related to searching:
- We revised the UCC-11 search form and ask that you use this version when mailing a search request to our office. You don’t need a form when searching online.
- When you search online, you can no longer limit your search by a range of dates. This feature didn’t work well since search results must include all related records.
- We are now able to display very long names and addresses on the copy generated for viewing online or including in a copy search.
- If you search online by file number, we will display lapsed records still in our system.
- A search by debtor name now includes records that have no middle name or initial. For example, a search of “John Adam Smith” will include records filed on “John Smith.”
