When is my annual fee billing statement mailed?
Review Chapter 388-76 WAC for current licensing requirements.
Billing statements are mailed on the 15th of each month 60 days prior to your license anniversary month.
Example: You were licensed on July 20, 2021, therefore, your license anniversary month is July and your billing statement will be mailed on May 15th each year.

Make your check payable to DSHS.
Where do I mail my payment?
DSHS

What do I do if I don’t have the tear-off coupon from the billing statement?
Write the words “Annual Fee” and your AFH license number on your check to ensure proper posting to your account.
Can I pay the AFH annual fee over the telephone using my debit or credit card?
No. Currently payments must be in the form of a personal check, business check, cashier’s check or money order.
