This was the fastest DMV trip I have ever had. I was getting my son an ID card. I made the appointment, got there and were in and out with his new ID within 15 minutes! It was awesome. The staff were very friendly!

About as great of an experience as one can have at a DOL! super fast, responsive & friendly staff. I'm thankful for them! I was dreading the visit thinking that I'd have the usual DOL experience of waiting forever etc. but it went down way more smoothly.
Trying to get a learners permit for my son now. You can pre-apply online, but you still need an in-person appointment to show proof-of-residency... and appointments are impossible to get now.
- DOL is so backed up they don't even put you on hold most times, just an automated apology, then they dump the call.
- Checked the online in-person appointment reservation site multiple times, always says no appointments available.

This is a link that may help.
My daughter.is in Drivers Ed so we went for different reasons.
https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/dolprod/dsdoffices/.
When I picked the Spokane Valley location they weren't open. The North side one is open for appointments only.
Hope this helps.
$54 for 6yrs. $4 per year extra for the new enhanced. The website states there is no late fee if renewed with-in 60 days after it expires. But, it would not renew online for me. They also keep the same pic.
Edit: 3/25/19 Very nice facility, very efficient, stream lined, clean. Hard to see from main road, it's just left of ice cream shop. Might be only DOL open on Mon's. Good point: No penalty for renewing late. Bad point: YES, they DO take a new pic!
Btw- they must send Drivers license Agents to a new school- they are NICE and know what they're doing! 🙂
What web site do we use to request an original certified/stamped birth certificate from a different state?

Try the health department in the county and state where the birth took place.

You have to go to a vehicle licensing office for that. Here is a link to all of them in Spokane and surrounding areas. Give your nearest office a call.

Previous state ID. You may also need SSI card, and birth certificate if you haven't had a WA state ID for some time, or this is your first WA state ID. Contact the DOL for qualified answers.
What is the procedure for buying or selling a car?
Carol Bryan | Jun 26, 2022
Aaron Roberson | Jun 26, 2022
You need to go to an "auto licensing" place. This is drivers license only.
It's been 6 weeks since applying for renewed drive license. Still not received in the mail. How do I get past the barrier and track/resolve this delay? Can't go in person as I'm now out of the country, so need to contact or call a live person
Same with us. They do require an appointment but if there is any openings that they will squeeze you in but it's going to be when they have an opening so you may be waiting a little bit but I'm not sure on the mask thing anymore when I went to it was required but that was like a week before they lifted the mask thing. But knowing any government building you're probably still going to have to wear a mask
Yes, but if you want to change type you have to visit an office, e.g. I wanted to get rid of enhanced version since I now have a passport card - had to go in. Also, likely best to make an appointment since you are rolling the dice as a walk-in.
Go to the Washington department of licensing website for office hours and appointment setting. All offices, as of this posting, require an appointment.
Can I just walk in now? Or need an appointment?

how do I get a link to get my driver's license renewed in Spokane, WA
I took a piece of federal mail to show my change of address and my passport. They didn't look at either. I had my billfold stolen out of my purse and needed a new license with my new address on it. That being said I didn't have an appointment and because I went in during lunch I was allowed in to do my business.
Does anyone know how to get an enhanced ID for flying?
Bonita Johnson | Aug 25, 2020
James Clifford | Aug 25, 2021
Basically same way as driving. Call DOl and make appointment. They will give you information on what to bring with you and the costs . Masks are currently required inside.
What do I do to renew I
Bryna Banks | Aug 25, 2020
T Orzal | Aug 25, 2020
U can do it online or make an appointment online to schedule to go see them in person.
Yes! Make sure all of your driver's education and drive test are complete. Schedule your appointment online ahead of time and do it late in the evening or it will say "no appointments available." That's what worked for me at least
How do I get my enhanced license which isnt a renewal while the buolding is closed.
Lona Janes | Aug 25, 2020
Life On The Road | Aug 25, 2020
Set an appt for license renewal (only way to do it). Make sure you bring in a certified original copy of you birth certificate, your current drivers license, and a copy of one of the following bills: cell phone, electric, water-sewage-garbage, etc. ALL ADDRESSES between the last 2 items MUST match!
When can I bring in my son to get his picture ID
Carolyn Holmes | Aug 25, 2020

Appointment only made online
How do I get an appointment if I can't pre apply online and no one is answering the phone?
Mary Hart | Aug 25, 2020
Amanda Hartig | Aug 25, 2020
You have to pre apply online. If its something that can wait until they fully open up I would just wait it out. The soonest appointment probably isnt until mid August anyway.
It took me two weeks to get thru on the phone tree, only to be told I needed to go to the web site. However, the very nice lady I spoke to after 25 minutes on hold pointed me to a URL I had not tried. Go to dol.wa.gov and down the rabbit hole to "moving to WA?" and getting a license, and applying for pre-registration. There you will get a pre-registration license number which will allow him to pre-register and get an appointment. Please be advised of two things: my memory is, at best, faulty and you may have to search about a bit, but this should be substantially correct. Second, they only make appointments up to a month in advance, and last time I checked they were booked that far. There may be cancellations (in fact I managed a same-day appointment) so keep checking. Once you have the pre-registration number things can go more quickly.
Go to dol.wa.gov, get your first license, pre-application. That will get you a pre-application license number you can use to make an appointment. As of mid-July waiting list is a month long. This should improve, but remember you are supposed to get a driver's license and register in 30 (?) days.
I was recently married and need to obtain a license with my name change. There are no appointments available until 2022. The phone # doesn't allow any more "calls to enter the hold queue", and no one will respond to my email. How can I do this?
Jennifer Jerald | Aug 25, 2020
Dan Anderson | Aug 25, 2020
I kept calling and sifting through the menu, after getting the "to many calls to enter the hold queue" about 8 or 9 times, I finally got through to the hold queue. I also tried it first thing in the morning when fewer people are likely to be awake.

Michael Higgins | Aug 25, 2020
Jenny Ludwig | Aug 25, 2020
No we were just there yesterday and we called in and they have no estimated time of when they will be opening or to what extent they will open to when they do. She directed to go online for most things or wait til opening for the rest
Yes, they accept applications to get an enhanced license at the country homes location.
what times can a person take the test?
Antoinette Haraldson | Aug 25, 2020
Heather Cole | Aug 25, 2020
I'm pretty sure you can take the test any time the place is open. I always find it best to call just in case. They are really helpful when you call too.

Make sure to get an enhanced license.
Can i get a totaled but rebuilt car inspected here for a new title?
D G. | Aug 25, 2020
Michael | Aug 25, 2020
No. You will have to schedule an inspection with the Washington State Patrol. Once that inspection is completed they will give you a form you can take to the vehicle license office for a new title
The fine for failing to initially register your vehicle in Washington is $1,100. It is fairly easy for a police officer to determine you have been living here for more than 30 days. If an officer believes you are intentionally keeping your vehicle registered out of state you could be charged criminally
This is only for identification or drivers license.....go to vehicle registration office....there is one on Division and Hawthorne. Next door to DeLeon taco bar
The business hours on the door sign, through one of the pics, are different from what the site shows. Now which one I believe?! Do they open Saturdays? do they open 8:30 am or 7:30? I need to know, Please!

ALVIN RODRIGUEZ | Aug 26, 2019
J Silverman | Aug 26, 2019
The office is for drivers license, not vehicle licensing
Can I come here to do my written test? Also how much are the fees per test ?
David Medina | Aug 26, 2019
Jill Rippy | Aug 26, 2019
Have to take your written and driving tests at one of the drive schools around, B&B Driving School or 911 driving school. Then after you take and pass the test you go to the Drivers licensing office. Written test is $20, driving test is around $50.
Military can keep their State's license indefinitely after it expires.
I think @Mr Eakin prob paid $10 to finish his 5year license term
before the extention to 6 yrs for $54.

I'm trying to get my first WA state license but I lost my out of state one. Will I have to take another driving test even though I already passed and had a driver's license? I'm a new resident also, what documents should I bring?
Yo Momma | Aug 26, 2019
Elijah Rea | Aug 26, 2019
No driving test but you'll have to prove your identity. Passport or proof of residency and birth certificate social security card.
So, we have nothing else except for his birth certificate, SSN card, marriage certificate, and proof of address. In Oregon , all he needed was his birth certificate and proof of address. Why is Washington so complicated?
Jamie Castleberry | Aug 26, 2019

Rolando Hernandez | Aug 26, 2019
tanya mauppins | Aug 26, 2019

Do i go there to get a vehicle release
Carol Breeze | Aug 26, 2019
J Silverman | Aug 26, 2019
Probability not. This is for Driver's Licenses not Vehicle Lincensing...you can get that form online at dol.wa.gov
Not many people know, but you can take knowledge test immediately, before doing actual school (that's what I did).
I just set at home for few days and learned everything from Washington's Driver Guide (you can find one online or in the office for free)
Then I went to 911 Driving School and took the test.
After you pass the knowledge test you can obtain instruction permit here.
Instruction permit allows to drive with an adult driver on the right seat, to get an actual license you have to finish the driving classes, pass the driving test, and have an instruction permit for 6 month.
