  • All driver licensing offices are closed today.
  • The Department of Homeland Security announced that enforcement of the REAL ID Act has been delayed until October 1, 2021. With the enforcement date postponed by a year, Washington residents can rest a little easier and avoid DOL offices during this time of COVID-19. This decision gives people more time to determine which ID they need for travel purposes, and whether they already have the federally-recognized ID they need.
  • In an effort to safeguard your health and our employees, many of our services can be done online. If you have tried and are unable to complete your transaction online, you may schedule an appointment for essential services related to the pandemic response.
