Fast and friendly service. But come prepared with the required documents - I watched people get turned away for lack of docs. And don't think that because your appointment is for a particular time that you will be seen at that time. You must register when you arrive then wait for your number to be called. We arrived early (~5 min) and waited over 30 min...

We both got there early and got in-and-out really quickly. By the time we left the line was starting to get longer. So that being said I would definitely get there earlier and I earlier in the day.

Recently moved to Washington and was very impressed by the organizing and timeliness to get my new driver's license. In and out in 35 minutes is unheard of in Texas. Only thing that was frustrating was for out of state residents trying to get an enhanced ID you need 2 physical pieces of mail instead of 1.

Can't say that I ever expected to post 5 stars for a drivers licensing location but here we are. Everyone was amazingly helpful, quick to answer questions and very understanding that people showing up here are generally confused and intimidated. Scheduling an appointment online was super easy. Showed up at my scheduled time and was called up to the counter shortly after. I unfortunately forgot the name of the employee that helped me because I'd love to give her specifically a shout-out. We got through a very tedious list of DL modifications I needed in no time at all. You don't have a many of choices in the area for drivers licensing which makes it all the more impressive that this location chooses to be so great. Top marks all around.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My out of state drivers license is about to expire and I need to replace it for a Washington drivers license, it won’t let me make an appointment online and I cant get ahold of anybody through the phone, do they accept walk ins?

Kaitlyn Gifford | Aug 15, 2020
Keri Kalskett | Aug 15, 2020

Walk ins are on a waiting basis. The worker at the door will ask what you need, and decide if they can facilitate between appointments. I renewed my license two weeks ago. I was a walk in. You have to have a mask and they ask that you wash hands after entering ,before seating yourself to wait. I waited maybe a half hour. It was actually pretty quick.

I just moved to WA and needed a new driver's license. I didn't have my Texas license with me so here's what I had to do: 1. Fill out the online pre-application form. I was able to use the file shown on my phone and didn't have to print it out. 2. I had to go online to request my Texas driving records. Small fee and I had the email within minutes. This didn't require a hard copy either. I just showed it on my phone. 3. When I completed my pre-application I had to say which for of address verification I would be presenting. I selected voter registration card and jsu brought it along with #1 & #2 above. That's it. I drove over to the Breemerton license office without an appointment. I arrived at Friday about 1:30 and the place was dead so I didn't have to wait more that 2 mins. I walked out about 30 mins later with a temp ID. Good luck.

Depending on why you are suspended it can be $75 for tickets or $150 for drug or alcohol offense. But then you also have to replace the license so you have to add the appropriate fee for that too. Without know your exact circumstance, its difficult to say what the total out-the-door cost will be.

How do I get a permit?

Ariana Becker | Aug 16, 2019
Rosanna Howard | Aug 16, 2019

So as an employee of the DOL, I can tell you that a permit costs $25. In order to get one you need to either take the knowledge test or be registered in a drive school and the class has to start within 10 days before we issue. If you are under the age of 18 you cannot get your license unless you go through the drive school but you are eligible to take the test at the age of 15 and a 1/2 and get a permit. If you are over 18, already have a Washington ID and don't want to take drive school then all that is required is you take the knowledge test and pass. If you don't already have ID then you have to identify yourself and the documents required are on the website.

Yes you can. Requires original documents. For citizenship; need an original birth certificate, OR a valid passport or valid passport card.

There are many ways to do it, that's most common. Dol.wa.gov will help you. You must also have proof of residence such as utility bill with your name and address. Again go to website since there are many ways to prove residence.
