Submitting plans

Until March 26, the Elevator Program presents service changes prior to launch of the Conveyance Management Portal:

  • All business with the Elevator Program will be done manually. We have turned off online services to ensure launching the Portal occurs with the smoothest transition and least amount of impact.
  • Payments for permits or invoices can be made by visiting one of L&I's office locations.
  • Through March 9, please only submit critical, time-sensitive elevator permit applications.

Take advantage of training materials and presentations about the Portal prior to launch. See Portal user guides, videos, and presentation dates at www.Lni.wa.gov/CMP.

You may also submit plans by mail:
