CHENEY, Wash. – The Office of the Secretary of State (OSOS) is set to open a new regional branch on the Eastern Washington University campus on January 5, 2026.
This branch will provide Corporations & Charities services by offering same-day, in-person services for a variety of needs, including apostille certifications, state business registration and maintenance filings, registered agent filings and trademark filings.
“The opening of the Eastern Regional Branch will provide a more convenient location for business owners to submit their filings in person, receive an apostille, or register their trademark without having to spend hours driving across the state for an appointment,” said Secretary of State Steve Hobbs. “Our customers have enough to worry about running their business or nonprofit. We are making it more accessible, convenient, and easier to do business in Washington by taking our services to our customers where they are.”
This establishment at 960 Washington Street marks the first regional multi-service location for OSOS outside of Thurston County, aiming to better serve the needs of Eastern Washington.
“Providing local support for small businesses and non-profits is essential to creating an economy where businesses and communities thrive,” said Mary Miller, director of public policy of Greater Spokane Inc. “Bringing state business services closer to business and nonprofit owners in the Greater Spokane region is exactly the kind of responsive leadership that will help grow our regional and state economies.”
