Worker Registration - FAQ

This page lists Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Answers to the most common questions asked for worker registration.

What is MyWisconsinID and why do I need it?

eWiSACWIS uses the State of Wisconsin's internet security. MyWisconsin ID allows authorized individuals to access State Internet applications using the same means of identification for all State web applications. For example, a user can use the same MyWisconsin ID and password to access eWiSACWIS, Kinship Care or WANDA. MyWisconsin ID uses multifactor authentication (MFA), so you will set up at least one MFA method when you register.

How do I get a MyWisconsin ID?

MyWisconsin ID provides a self-registration process to create your own personal account. This is your key to doing secure business with the State of Wisconsin over the Internet, including eWiSACWIS. This account belongs to you. It does not belong to your current employer.

Take care to remember and protect your MyWisconsin ID and password.

You must provide a valid, unique work email address to self-register. Your work email address is your MyWisconsin ID login. Correspondence about your account will be sent to this address. You should register using the same name and work email address currently used in eWiSACWIS.

To register, follow the MyWisconsin ID Self Registration instructions.

What if I already have a MyWisconsin ID?

You do not need to create another account. State web applications use the same MyWisconsin ID. The same login (your work email address) and password can be used for eWiSACWIS, WANDA, Kinship Care, GAC, etc. Let your supervisor or Security Delegate know you already have a MyWisconsin ID so they can associate it with your eWiSACWIS access. Make sure your MyWisconsin ID account has the work email address that matches your current agency/county email for eWiSACWIS. If your account uses a personal email address (such as Gmail or Yahoo), it can't be used, and you will need to register a new MyWisconsin ID with your work email.

What if I receive a message that my e-mail is already in use?

If you already have a MyWisconsin ID, you may receive the message "The e-mail address you entered has already been registered and cannot be used by another person". If you use another application that uses MyWisconsin ID, such as Kinship Care, you do not need to create another account. Your county Security Delegate will need to submit a security request to grant your MyWisconsin ID access to eWiSACWIS. If you've forgotten your login or password, proceed to MyWisconsin ID account recovery.
