How To Apply for the Tree Service Provider Registry

To complete a Tree Service Provider Registry application, you must be signed into your Seattle Services Portal account. If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one (see these step-by-step instructions or view the Seattle Services Portal Overview video).

• For more information about registration requirements, see Tree Service Provider Registry Requirements.
• To add or make changes to your registration, see How to Revise an Existing Tree Service Provider Registration.
• To renew your registration, see How to Renew an Existing Tree Service Provider Registration.

If you have all your material ready to upload, the application process will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

    If you don’t see a “customer number” on your Business License, the Customer number is the six (6) digit number (e.g., 000123456 …) found at the top of your business license.
