WAC 296-17-31006
Application process. (1) Where can I buy
workers' compensation insurance? Washington law requires that
you:
•
Purchase your workers' compensation insurance through labor
and industries; or
•
Be certified as a self-insured employer by the self
insurance section of the department of labor and industries.
Employers engaged exclusively in interstate or foreign
commerce are permitted to purchase workers' compensation
insurance from a private carrier in another state if they do
business in that state. The workers' compensation laws of the
other state must allow the Washington drivers to be covered in
that state. You will need to complete a master application to
obtain workers' compensation insurance from us. For more
information on self insurance you can call (360) 902-6867 and one
of our self insurance representatives will assist you.
(2) Where can I get a master application?
You can get a master application from any labor and
industries, employment security, department of revenue office,
the department of licensing master license service, or the
corporations division of the office of the secretary of state.
For your convenience you can call us at (360) 902-4817 and we
will mail you one.
(3) Where do I send my completed master application?
You can mail your completed master application to the
department of licensing address shown on the form, or you can
return it to your local labor and industries, department of
revenue, or employment security district tax office. Be sure to
include the appropriate fees indicated on the form.
