Notices from National Business Registration are likely a scam

The Secretary of State’s Office recently alerted Washington businesses to watch out for a possible scam involving a company named National Business Registration that has sent notices instructing businesses to register with the “National Corporation Registry” and pay a $487 fee. In fact, no such registry exists. Businesses that receive a notice from National Business Registration should contact the United States Postal Inspections Service at (877) 876-2455 or online. Corporations doing business in Washington need toregister with the Secretary of State's Office.
