The Master License Service is administered by the Department of Licensing, Business and Professions Division. The program functions as a central licensing service for a variety of businesses in Washington. A master license is a single license that incorporates endorsements, certificates, approvals, and registrations, and certifies state agency approval for the various regulated activities in which a business may be engaged. The program also provides information to the business community concerning state licensing and regulatory requirements, including local and federal information regarding state-regulated activities. Master license fees currently are set in statute and have been unchanged since 1992. The master application fee is $15, and the renewal fee is $9. Late fees are also established in statute under RCW 19.02.085.
