In Washington, social security number or drivers's license is required. Your social security number is only used to establish your service. Your credit is not impacted.

What is Start, Stop, or Transfer service?

Start service is when you are beginning gas service at a new residential address. Stop service is when you are stopping service at your address and closing your gas account. Transfer service is when you are moving from one location to another and would like to transfer your gas service to the new address. Transferring stops your service at your current location and starts it at a new address. If you are adding a rental or adding an additional location, don't use the Transfer service form and use the Start service form as if it's a new address.

Why do I need to have a web profile?

NW Natural cares about the information you share with us. In order to protect your personal information, we now require that customers register for a web profile. This gives you a secure and convenient way to update account information, view current gas usage and prior billing statements at any time through the portal without being required to call the Customer Contact Center during business hours.
