At L&I, we want everyone to understand their rights and responsibilities, no matter what language they speak or their immigration status. You can access our services for free in your preferred language.

It's all part of our goal to make connecting with us easier for you.

Important: We will not share your information with immigration services, local government or police.

If you've requested any of these services but haven't received them, you can file a civil rights discrimination complaint.
