Renewing Your License

STEP 2

Log into WA CAP

Log into WA CAP at any time to see your expiring documents and to upload training certificates.

STEP 3

Online Documentation & Meeting with Licensor

Documents you will complete include: the renewal application, background checks, WAC agreements, infant safety, and influenza vaccine agreements, as well as an updated emergency and evacuation plan. Once the renewal application has been completed and signed, your assigned licensor will schedule an in-person home inspection visit and renewal interview. Your licensor will let you know if additional documents are needed, training hours are missing, or any additional collateral contacts are needed for the renewal.

• Review the Foster Home Licensing Inspection Checklist, to learn what LD staff are looking for.

STEP 4

Changes in Circumstances

Let your licensor know if you aren’t interested in renewing your license or if there are any significant changes to your home.

Contact your licensor if you are planning on moving or if there are any changes in household members during the 3-year licensing cycle.

Review the Reporting Responsibilities for Foster Parents to read about other changes in circumstances that you need to report to your licensor.
