The FIA, the sport's governing body, required the teams to submit conditional entries for the 2010 season and all of them did before Friday's deadline.
Last Monday, Williams said it would enter and has been joined by McLaren, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Renault, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso, Brawn GP and Force India despite a budget cap proposal next season.
"We owe it to our employees, sponsors and fans," Williams chief executive Adam Parr told the BBC earlier this week. "Williams has always maintained that we have a binding contract with both Formula One Management and the FIA to participate in the world championship from 2008 to 2010."
The FIA has until June 12 to confirm its intentions.
