NOTE: The system will be down from 8a.m. -12 p.m. Aug 9th for maintenance.
If you have an ID from 2007, you do NOT need to re-register.
Before you complete the three steps below, read the Tips/Tutorial: pdf (452 kB), .doc
Step 1. Register as a reporter (start here first (registration system)) Note: If you are filing for yourself or the company you work for, register as a Self reporter not a Proxy reporter.
Step 2. File reports (reporting system)
Step 3. Check your reports! Please go to the Previous Reports button after you log in and check what you have submitted to the PURS system. PURS staff have seen numerous problems. One major example is people using the Make Similar Report button incorrectly filing more reports than intended. If you see more reports than you meant to file, call the PURS Info Line at 503.986.6472 to speak with a PURS staff and we will help you get your information corrected.
Do not assume that your information is correct because a PURS staffer has not called you. We DO NOT review each report, nor do we know what you intended to file!
