Portal Resources | Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board

Please note: most Portal services require you to set up an account via the "Log In" button. Once you're logged in you can see all the options.

Only Banquet Permits, Cannabis Social Equity Registrations, and Household Moves can be made without setting up an account and logging in.

To log in and create a 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.

Processing Delays - Liquor and Cannabis Licenses: Issuing licenses has been slower than is typical as we use the new Portal to process applications. Due to the delays, we recommend submitting your application at least 90 days before your planned opening date.

Due to high call volume, we currently have a backlog of voice messages for our IT support team.

We appreciate your patience as we get accustomed to the new system and work to fix issues that arise.

Portal status information is found here.

UBI Information - 16 Digits

When you are asked for a 16-digit UBI, what you need to enter is a combination (in this order) of your:

UBI#
Business ID#
Location ID#

These three items added together total 16 digits.

If you need to find your information, it is on the Dept. of Revenue’s website, under your business account.

The guides below show specific tasks and workflows for some Portal processes. Most Portal processes are easy to do without a guide. If you have trouble with anything, call our Customer Service line Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at (360) 664-1776.
