First Time Filers

For the first filing year only, signers must register for filing credentials at the DOL's website. Please register as a Filing Signer. Once this process is complete, you can continue to use the UserID, Password, and PIN provided by the DOL, therefore it is very important that you remember your UserID, Password, and PIN for future years.
