51,490 Washington CPA licenses
Every license in the Washington State Board of Accountancy's public register — 51,490 of them — is published on this page's letter sections, with each licensee's name, license number, verbatim status, original issue date and expiration date exactly as the Board publishes them. When the file was checked, 26,164 licenses carried the status “Licensed to practice public accounting” and 27,168 had an expiration date on or after 2026-09-17. All rows were fetched from Washington State Board of Accountancy (data.wa.gov) (https://data.wa.gov/d/6du3-3h9e) on 2026-09-17; each letter section repeats that fetched-on date with its rows.
Licenses by letter
The file is large, so it is split by the licensee's first letter. Each section is one static page listing its rows in full with the fetched-on date.

What the columns mean
Status is the Board's own wording, kept verbatim — the same license condition carries different labels in different states. “Licensed to practice public accounting” was in good standing when the file was checked; lapsed, retired, inactive, suspended and revoked flags are kept as the Board prints them. The expiration date is the current renewal date the Board publishes (Washington CPA licenses renew on June 30), normalized to ISO format; 1,424 rows publish none and are left blank rather than estimated. 80 rows link to the Board Order that documents a suspension or revocation. City, state and country describe where the licensee is based — not all licensees practice in Washington.
