The Street Use Enable Access amendment allows you to give an additional person access to a record, such as an application, permit, or invoice. This person must have an existing Seattle Services Portal account.
This amendment is useful when an additional person, who is not currently a record contact, needs access to an application or permit to:
- Respond to corrections
- Submit an amendment such as to extend or revise the permit
- Upload or view documents
Before you begin, you must know the email address associated with the Seattle Services Portal account of the person you want to add. Request this email address from the account holder before you begin this amendment. When the amendment is submitted, this person is automatically added as a contact to the record and will have immediate access. There are no fees or required documents for this amendment.
If you want to give someone access to more than one permit, consider using delegation. For information on delegation, please refer to help articles in the Managing Your Account Overview folder paying particular attention to the ones on adding a delegate, accepting delegation, and managing delegate permissions.
This amendment is not used to change the required contacts – the Applicant, Owner, Financially Responsible Party, or Onsite Contact. To request a change to required contacts on an issued permit, use a Revision amendment. For Public Space permits, refer to How Do I Request a Revision to My Issued Vending or Long-Term Public Space Management (PSM) Permit. For Construction, Utility, and SIP permits, refer to How Do I Request a Revision to My Issued Construction, Utility, or Street Improvement Permit. If the permit is not yet issued, send an email to SDOTPERMITS@seattle.gov to request a change.
