’No WID online’ request process transitions to Department of Labor and Industry from Court of Administrative Hearings

Jan. 30, 2026

In partnership with the Court of Administrative Hearings (CAH), the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) will now respond directly to all “No WID online” requests that are submitted to the “No WID online” email address. 

CAH requires a WID number when e-filing a dispute to consider the submission complete.   

When a worker identification (WID) number cannot be found, the first step is to use the WID number lookup process in Work Comp Campus. If a WID number still cannot be found after using the Campus lookup process, a request for a WID number may be sent to the “No WID online” email address using the steps below. 

If the user is unable to locate a WID number for an injured worker using the Campus WID number lookup, they should:   

• email a request for a WID number to nowidonline@state.mn.us; and 

• attach their initiating documents and a screenshot of the Work Comp Campus WID number search results showing no WID number exists.    

Note:  The steps listed above are for requesting a WID number only. Users will still need to file documents with CAH once a WID number is received. 

When the request is received, it will be reviewed and, if the injured worker can be identified, a WID number will be provided directly by DLI. If more information is required to identify the injured workers’ WID, DLI will reach out to the requestor for that information.     

The requester is responsible for e-filing their documents after a WID number is provided. Any C-track filing questions should be referred to CAH.   

Stakeholders requesting a WID number can follow this quick reference guide detailing the process. Questions regarding this process can be directed to the Workers’ Compensation Help Desk at 651-284-5005 (press 3), 800-342-5354 (press 3) or helpdesk.dli@state.mn.us.
