Washington CPAs outside Washington
3,874 of the 25,984 people Washington currently licenses have an address in another state — 14.9%.
A licence belongs to the state that issued it
Not to the place its holder lives. People move and keep the licence current; others hold licences in several states because their clients are in several states. A California address on a Washington licence is not an anomaly and does not weaken it.
What it does not tell you is whether that person is licensed where they live. This register knows about Washington credentials and nothing else — for another state, ask that state’s board.
