Washington State Department Of Licensing

This service aids Washington residents in securing a new driver license or instruction permit, obtaining an ID card, renewing driver licenses, ID cards, or enhanced driver licenses/ID cards, and making changes to their name or address on a driver license.

Intake Procedure: To begin, visit the website to locate a nearby office. For a first-time driver license or ID card, applicants must provide proof of identity, which includes their name, date of birth, signature, and a photo. A detailed list of acceptable documents can be found on the website. Additionally, applicants are required to pass a vision test and submit their Social Security number. New licenses also necessitate passing written and driving tests, although these tests are not required if the applicant holds a valid driver license from another state. For DOL2Go services, check the online calendar for the closest location.

Fees: The fees differ based on the service requested. The total cost is influenced by the type of license and its duration of validity. For detailed pricing, visit https://dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/driver-licensing-fees. Clients of DSHS can obtain or renew an ID card for $5 if they have the DSHS form 16-029 completed by a caseworker.
