Register for a new License Express for business account

Before you get started

This guide is for DIAS business customers to register for a new License Express for business account with the Department of Licensing (DOL).

You need to register for your own business account. If you already have one, you can request to add new services to your existing account. Each business is allowed one account administrator with as many managers and employees as needed.

Part 1: Gather the required information

You’ll need the following information to register and set up your account:

  • UBI, TIN, or EIN number
  • Driver Information & Adjudication Account ID

Part 2: Create a username and password for License Express

First, you must create a License Express account for yourself.

1. Go to the License Express login page and choose the “Join now!” button.

2. Choose the “License eXpress for business” option and choose the “Continue” button.

3. Enter your First and Last name and choose the “Continue” button.

4. Enter the Username you want to use.

5. Enter and confirm your email address. Choose the “Continue” button. We will send an email to that address with a link to activate your account.

  • Note: If necessary, you can set up other License Express accounts using the same email address in the future.

6. Enter and confirm the password you want to use and choose the “Register me” button. The page will show a confirmation message.

7. Open the link in the email we sent you. Check your junk or spam folder if you do not see the email.

8. Enter the username and password you just created and choose the “Login” button.

Part 3: Set up MFA

After you log in, we will automatically redirect you to SecureAccess Washington (SAW) to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA). We require this to help protect your identity and prevent fraud.

9. Under “Choose Method,” choose your email address. You will only be able to see part of the address.

10. You will get an email from SAW with a verification code. Enter the last 6 digits after the dash of that code and choose the “Submit” button.

11. Decide if you want SAW to remember the device you’re using. Don’t check the box if you’re using a computer that is public or that you share with anyone else. Choose the “Submit” button.

Part 4: Finish setting up your License Express account

At this point, you will be logged into License Express for Partners. Now you’ll need to provide information for your account. License Express will automatically enter your name and email address.

12. Select your phone number type from the dropdown menu. This automatically defaults to Business. Enter your phone number and your extension (if applicable). Choose the “Next” button.

13. Enter your address information: License Express will automatically select “USA” from the country dropdown menu.

License Express will automatically select “USA” from the country dropdown menu.

  1. Enter your street address.
  2. Optional: Enter a second line. Do not add information like apartment or suite numbers here.

  1. If our suggested address is correct, choose that option.
  2. If you want to use the address you entered on the previous screen, choose the “Use the address I entered” option.
  3. Choose the “Next” button.

15. Read the access agreement. Once you’ve read the terms, check the box next to “I agree to the terms of service above.” License Express will automatically fill in the date. Choose the “Next” button.

16. Check your information one more time. If you notice something incorrect, you can use the “Previous” button to make edits. Don’t use the “Back” button in your browser. When all your information is correct, choose the “Submit” button.

17. The page will show a confirmation code and the time and date when you registered. Keep these for your records. We may ask for them if you ever need to contact us for help. Choose the “Continue” button.
