File Intents & Affidavits

Filing Intents and Affidavits for public works projects

New users

How do I file the forms?
The public works contract employer can file the Statement of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages and the Affidavit of Wages Paid form either
- online using the Prevailing Wage Intent & Affidavit (PWIA) system (once you've registered), or
- by completing an original paper form. The paper Intents and Affidavits must be filled out in ink and submitted with a check to the address on the back of the form. The form mailed to us must be the original two-page form with white front and yellow carbonless sheet attached. Faxed or copied forms will not be accepted. The instructions are on the back of the form.
Do I need to register to file online?

Yes, if you have not yet registered to file Prevailing Wage Intents and Affidavits online through the Prevailing Wage Intent & Affidavit (PWIA) system, get information about how to do it here.

ATTENTION Prevailing Wage Intent & Affidavit System (PWIA) users

If you haven't already done so, you need to upgrade your access to the PWIA application by doing the following:

Register for a new Secure Access Washington (SAW) account at SecureAccess Washington.
Bookmark that page and use the same link to log in in the future.
Log in to your new SAW account and add the service to file online for PWIA.

Note: If you use a digital certificate, your login procedure has not changed. Please continue to log in as you always have. Also, you no longer need a digital certificate for PWIA. The User Name/Password system can be used on any computer, there is no special software to install or token to use, and there is no renewal fee.

The link to the Public View and Print location has changed. Please go to this page — View Approved Prevailing Wage Intents and Affidavits here — and make a new bookmark.
