SecureAccess Washington (SAW) account

We use SecureAccess Washington (SAW) to protect your personal information.

To apply, renew, or manage your license online you need a SAW account. 

Check if you already have a SAW account

Since so many state agencies use SAW, you may already have a SAW account. If you're not sure if you already have a SAW account, you can check. 

  1. Go to secureaccess.wa.gov
  2. Click Get Help button 
  3. Enter your email address in the Username Reminder field
  4. Click to check the "I'm not a robot" box
  5. Click Send

If you have an account you'll receive an email within a few minutes. 

If you don’t have an account a message will pop up saying that your email is not found in the system.

Tips:

  • If you don’t get the message and don’t get the email in your inbox, check your Spam or Junk mail folders.
  • If you have multiple email addresses, you may want to search for each before creating a new account.
