What documents do I need to bring with me for an in-person visit?

When visiting a Washington Department of Licensing office for an in-person appointment, it is essential to bring the appropriate documentation to ensure a smooth experience. The specific documents required depend on the purpose of your visit, whether it is obtaining a new driver's license, renewing an existing one, registering a vehicle, or updating information. Generally, if you are applying for a driver's license or identification card, you will need to provide proof of identity, which can include documents such as a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or military identification. Additionally, proof of residence is required, which can be established with documents such as a utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement that lists your name and address. If you are visiting to register a vehicle, you will want to have the vehicle title, proof of identity, a completed vehicle registration application, and, if applicable, proof of odometer reading. For any specialized services, like obtaining a disabled parking permit, additional documentation may be necessary, such as medical certificates. To see a comprehensive list of documents necessary for various services, individuals can visit the official Washington Department of Licensing website.
