Frequently Asked Questions
When I try to register a new account, the site says my email address is already in use. What should I do?
This usually means there’s already an existing account associated with that email address. The platform does not allow multiple accounts to use the same email.
Try clicking the “Forgot Password?” link on the login page and enter your email address to reset your password and regain access to your existing account.
For step-by-step instructions, see the I forgot my password, what do I do? FAQ entry below.

How do I know if I’m logged into the ONE Regional License and Permits Platform?
When you're logged in, you will see the message “Logged in as:” followed by your username in the top navigation bar. This area also includes links to “Logout” and “Account Management”.
Additionally, on the left side of the screen, you'll see a greeting like “Hello, [Your User Name]” confirming that you're signed in.

I forgot my password, what do I do?
If you’ve forgotten your password, start by clicking the “Forgot Password?” link on the login page. You’ll be asked to enter the email address you used when creating your account, then prompted to answer the security question you set up during registration. Once you’ve submitted your answer, click “Send New Password.” An email from noreply@accela.com will be sent to you with a temporary password—be sure to check your spam or junk folder if it does not appear in your inbox.
When you log in using your username and the temporary password, you’ll be prompted to create a new password. Enter the temporary password in the Old Password field, then choose a new password and enter it in both the New Password and Confirm Password fields. Your new password must be at least eight characters long and include an uppercase letter, a number, and a symbol.
