Do I need a State of Washington Business License to obtain a City Endorsement?

Yes. The Washington State Department of Revenue issues a "Uniform Business Identification" (UBI) number. The State UBI registers a business entity for state tax purposes and is mandatory prior to obtaining a Bainbridge Island endorsement on your State of Washington business license. Only a City endorsement on a State business license entitles a business to engage in business in the City. Visit the State of Washington Business Licensing Service website (WA-DOR) to obtain your UBI number.
