Licensing Portal Resources
LCB Service Desk is currently experiencing high call volumes. We will continue to respond to messages as quickly as possible, but response times may exceed one day. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Note: Most services require you to create a Licensing Portal account. Begin by choosing "First-Time User."
Banquet Permits and Household Moves can be applied for without setting up an account and logging in. All other services require an LCB Licensing Portal account.
Set up a Licensing Portal account: You first need a Secure Access Washington (SAW) account. Many businesses and licensees already have a SAW account. If you have problems with SAW please contact WaTech at (360) 586-1000 or Support@watech.wa.gov.
- Use your SAW username and your email address to set up your LCB Licensing Portal account.
Licensing Portal status information is found here.
