1.  Are there instructions for Registering with an Established Office?

Yes. There are Detailed Instructions and a Quick Start Guide on the Portal.

2.  I want to register with an established office. What do I need to know before I get started?

You will need to obtain an Office ID from the Office Administrator.

If you are an attorney, you will need to make sure that you are aware of the information the WSBA has on file for you. When setting up your account, your entered last name and email address must match what is found in the Judicial Information System (JIS) which obtains its information from the WSBA.


If your WSBA information is out of date, you should contact the WSBA before attempting to register for the Portal. Then after contacting the WSBA, plan to wait 2 to 3 weeks before registering. It may take that long before the WSBA sends the updated information to JIS.

3.  I want the Portal to use a different email address from the one I have on file with the WSBA. Is that possible?

Yes. You have the option to enter an alternative email address. That alternative address will receive a copy of all correspondence that is sent to your official address. Please note that your official email address will still also be used for all correspondence as that is a requirement of the application.

4.  I know my office added me when the office was setup. Do I still need to register?

No.You only need to register if you want to file documents yourself. If you never expect to file on your own documents, you do not need an account.

5.  I know my office added me when the office was setup. Can I still register and have my own account?

Yes.If you would like to file your own documents, you will need an account. By having your own account, you can file yourself when you want, or you can ask office staff to file on your behalf when that is your preference.

6.  I am trying to enter a User ID, but it is being rejected?

A User ID must be unique and must meet our standards. Please see our User ID Standards for more information.

7.  I am trying to enter a Password, but it is being rejected?

Passwords must meet a fairly strict set of guidelines. Please review our Password Standards for more information.
