- ON RECORDWashington Secretary of State Corporations and Charities Filing System could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. I could not confirm any entity record, entity number, type, status, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, record URL, or source date. The attempted searches included LINCOLN MOVING & STORAGE COMPANY INC and LINCOLN; valid register results were not returned. The other supplied names/DBA value (Lincoln Moving & Storage, Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, and 4252510911) could not be validly searched b The apparent 0-record display on the results page was not treated as a genuine no-match result because the underlying official search request was blocked by system verification. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare Turnstile/system verification on the Washington Secretary of State site blocked the Corporation Search before valid search results could be read. The search UI navigated to BUSINESS SEARCH RESULTS but the official API returned: "System verification in progress, please wait."
- ON RECORDFollow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The permitted APACA Insights page labels a group “Lincoln Family of Companies,” lists Lincoln Moving & Storage Co. in Washington, and shows 253-582-3330 and offerstacoma@lincmove.com for its Tacoma listing, but shows different Kent contact details.
The permitted page does not verify a state-register filing, an FMCSA record for the relationship, shared people, succession, rebranding, or any consumer statement; it also does not show the requested phone number and email under the Kent listing, only under Tacoma.

What kind of company is this?
The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 9, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
- Federal interstate household-goods carrier authorityThe captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 9, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWashington Utilities and Transportation Commission lists certificate CC002278 as CANCELED (checked Oct 9, 2026). Do not hire this company for an in-state household move under this certificate.
- Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 9, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Address and operating-location evidenceWebsite and federal records list different addresses. See the dated sources and address roles below; these signals alone do not establish improper operation.
Address use and operating locations
A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.
No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.
Follow-up on unresolved leads
Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 9, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate.
