6Your step-by-step path

Teens (15–18)

  1. A · Request a driver license number. Start your application in License Express (how to), or at a DOL office. You'll get a DOL number that follows you through every step.
  2. B · We add you as a waiver. Enroll in our teen course and give us your WDL number. We notify DOL that you are enrolled, so you can get your permit at 15 instead of waiting until 15½. Book the course.
  3. C · Apply for an instruction permit. Apply no earlier than 10 days before class starts — online in License Express (pay, save, print), or at a DOL office. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian gives permission online.
  4. D · Traffic Safety Education (TSE). Complete an approved 30-hour driver-education course. This is required for drivers under 18 before the road test. Book the TSE course with us.
  5. E · Behind-the-wheel (BTW) driving with us. 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving practice plus 1 hour of drive observation, one-on-one with our instructors.
  6. F · Knowledge test. Study the WA Driver Guide and our free practice tests, then book your knowledge test. 40 questions, 80% to pass; available in 13 languages. Take it after you finish the course.
  7. G · Supervised driving practice. Hold your instruction permit for at least 6 months, and log at least 40 hours of daytime driving and 10 hours of night driving with a licensed driver who has 5+ years of experience. A parent, guardian, or responsible adult must attest to these hours. Track these hours two ways: write them in the supervised driving log, or download the free RoadReady app and log every drive on your phone.

7Does my teen need driver's ed in Washington?

Yes. Drivers under 18 must complete an approved Traffic Safety Education (TSE) course — 30 hours of classroom plus behind-the-wheel training — before the road test.

8How many practice hours are required?

At least 50 hours total: 40 hours daytime + 10 hours at night, with a licensed driver who has 5+ years of experience. A parent, guardian, or responsible adult must attest to the hours, and the permit must be held at least 6 months.

9What is an intermediate license?

It's the license teens get before 18. For the first 6 months no passengers under 20 (family excepted), and no driving 1–5 AM unless supervised; these restrictions end at 18.
