Registering for ePermitting

Before you can use ePermitting, you (or your organization/company) must have a Business Partner ID (BPID) in the Electronic Construction Management System (ECMS). ECMS provides the security for many PennDOT and Commonwealth systems.

There are several ways to register for an ePermitting user ID:

Express Login

Designed for single users who do not usually work with Highway Occupancy Permits, Express Login allows you to create BPID for yourself quickly.

ECMS Business Partners

If your organization already has a BPID, then the person designated as your Security Administrator has the authority to create new users for ePermitting and/or add ePermitting privileges to existing users.

If your organization is a Municipality or a County Planning Commission or if you would like to register for a BPID for using ePermitting as well as other PennDOT or Commonwealth services, then you need to register for an ECMS BPID.

ePermitting-Only Business Partners

Companies with multiple employees who have no need to register in ECMS for other systems can apply for an ePermitting-Only BPID. As part of the registration process, you will need to identify a Security Administrator at your company to manage individual user IDs and privileges. To register for an ePermitting-Only BPID, complete the ePermitting Business Partner form and e-mail the form to:  RA-pdECMDSecurity@pa.gov.
