Starting November 1, 2026, first-time applicants under 25 must pass the free online Work Zone and First Responder course to get a first Washington license. DOL says it takes about an hour and includes a test. Completing this website’s quiz does not satisfy that requirement.
For teen drivers, the DOL guide describes an instruction permit followed by an intermediate license. Applicants generally need six months with a permit and 40 hours of day plus 10 hours of night practice; additional driver-training and clean-record requirements apply. Check current DOL eligibility rules for your age and circumstances.
