The Washington Application for Construction Contractors Registration (WA CCR) is a free online program administered by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I). The WA CCR is designed to register and track contractors in the state of Washington. Contractors use the WA CCR to register their business and obtain a contractor's license. There are three types of WA CCR applications: general contractor, specialty contractor, and business license. General contractors must register with the WA CCR to obtain a business license, which allows them to bid on public works projects. Specialty contractors must register with the WA CCR to obtain a specialty contractor's license, which allows them to perform specific types of construction work. Business license applicants must provide additional information such as business structure, insurance requirements, and more for registration. The WA CCR also requires contractors to complete online safety training and provide proof of workers' compensation insurance or self-insurance. Contractors must also provide a surety bond or line of credit to the state in order to guarantee payment for work completed. After completing registration, contractors are issued a license number and may bid on public works projects in the state of Washington.
