Portal Resources
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 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.
We appreciate your patience as we get accustomed to the Portal and work to fix issues that arise.
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. For questions about the licensing process call 360-664-1600. For technical help call 360-664-1776. Support is available Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
