• Log into the system.
• In order to obtain a badge, have the following information ready to give your access coordinator:
  • your name
  • personnel number
  • headshot photo
  • office location

If you are a contractor or vendor needing to obtain an access badge or identification badge:

• Work with your contracting agency project manager who will submit your request on your behalf.
  • Be prepared to provide the following information: your name, company/vendor name, contract expiration date, headshot photo

Note: orders for access badges placed in the ordering system generally take 5 business days to process. If you have an emergent need, contact Capitol Security at 360-902-3560 or DESAccessControl@des.wa.gov.

For missing or broken badges, please work with your Access Coordinator as soon as possible, and they will ensure they get you a replacement badge.
