Licensing is not a formality. It is how Washington checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
In Washington, driving schools are licensed through the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL).
- Search Washington’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens under 18: at least 30 classroom hours, 6 hours of on-street driving (at most 1 hour a day) and 1 hour of observation. (source)
- Drivers 55 and older: an 8-hour accident prevention course for an insurance discount. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) before you enroll.
