What to expect for your knowledge test

• The exam is a 40-question multiple choice exam.
• The applicant must obtain an 80% or higher on the test to pass.
• Applicants who have already obtained their permit must have their valid permit to take the exam.

What to expect for your road test

• All road test applicants must have a valid permit or may be issued a temporary permit by the driving school.
• All applicants must have a clean, reliable vehicle with valid insurance, registration and license plate tabs.
• All vehicles must have working turn signals, brake lights, front lights, emergency flashers, seat belts, brakes, windshield wipers, appropriate (legal) tread on the tires, side mirrors and rear-view mirror.
• There may be no cracks or chips in the line of vision in the windshield. Applicants must obtain a score of 80% or higher to pass.
• If you’re taking an exam, your score will be entered into the DOL database within 24 hours. You will have to visit a DOL office to apply for your license. Passing the knowledge test and drive test does not guarantee an applicant will be issued a driver’s license. The DOL will determine if the applicant has met all licensing requirements. The DOL reserves the right to conduct re-exams at random; applicants refusing to take a re-examination may have their license revoked.
• If you received a letter from DOL to take an exam due to a physical, mental, visual or medical issue, you must take the test at a DOL office. Failure to disclose this information prior to testing will result in your test not being honored at DOL and no refunds will be issued.
• Pursuant to RCW 46.20.720, a driver convicted of an alcohol offense may be required to have an ignition interlock device (IID). The applicant must take the skills exam in the vehicle using the IID.
