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. 

Who should I make my check payable to?

• Make your check payable to DSHS.

Where do I mail my payment?

DSHS

Office of Financial Recovery

P.O. Box 9501

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.
