Washington State Department Of Licensing At Vancouver North

This program aids residents of Washington in applying for new driver licenses or instruction permits, obtaining ID cards, renewing driver licenses, ID cards, or enhanced driver licenses/ID cards, and updating their name or address on a driver license.

Intake Procedure: To start, visit the website to locate a nearby office. For first-time applicants of a driver license or ID card, it's necessary to provide proof of identity, which includes name, date of birth, signature, and a photo. (A detailed list of acceptable documents can be found on the website.) Applicants must also pass a vision test and present their Social Security number. New licenses require passing both written and driving tests, but these are waived 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 vary depending on the service requested. The cost is based on the type of license and its duration. For specific fees, 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 DSHS caseworker.
