If you hold an active license with Lake Washington Press, your name, professional photograph, and licensed firm name will appear on the front cover, spine, and back flap of every co-branded copy of your licensed edition.

You are responsible for ensuring that the name and firm name you provide to LWP are accurate and match your current state license record.
We retain your information for as long as your license is active and for seven years following license expiration, in accordance with standard business record-keeping requirements. Reservation submissions from agents who did not activate a license are retained for two years.
