Why am I required to get an account before using the system?

All users of the system must get an account, with a user name and password. This will allow the system to store your applications and other information. For contractors, license information will be verified with the Department of Consumer Protection as part of the process of getting an account.


For more information, or if you having problems using the system, please call 617-577-9000, ext. 2.
