All businesses operating in DC are required to be registered or licensed by the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA). This department also issues permits and recognizes business ownership types. The Business and Professional Licensing
Administration of the department (located on the 1st floor of DCRA) is for obtaining business licenses and the Permit Center (on the 2nd floor) is for occupation and construction permits in the District of Columbia. Both centers provide technical assistance and the option to complete the process on-site.
If you would like to operate in the District of Columbia as a forprofit
corporation, non-profit corporation, Limited Liability Company or partnership (limited partnership or limited liability partnership), you must register with Corporations Division of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
To register as a domestic company, you must file for articles of incorporation (for-profit or non-profit corporations), articles of organization for Limited Liability Company or statement of qualification for partnership.
