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.
You have to bring proof of identity and address to the license office. They will test your vision and issue a passport permit. Your real permit is sent via the mail within 2 weeks.
Go into the dol and request one, pretty easy. Might cost $35
