If a website claims to offer driver licensing office appointments for a certain price, it's a scam. The only official place to book an appointment is at dol.wa.gov. No payment necessary.
Appointments only available at dol.wa.gov. Do not book appointments through third-party sites. It's a scam!

Off to college soon? Make sure your stuff gets there — and that everyone else gets where they're going, too. Secure your loads. Unsecured loads cause more than 300 crashes in Washington each year. It's one lesson you don't want to learn. Get tips at SecureLoadsWA.org.
A pickup truck shows a properly secured load covered with a tarp and tied down at multiple points. Is your load secure? Ask yourself: Would I feel my family was safe if they were driving behind me? Will my load stay secure if I have to brake suddenly, hit a bump, turn a corner, or go uphill? Is there any chance of debris falling or blowing out of my vehicle? If it rains, will any of my cargo break down? Did I double-check my load to make sure it's secure? These questions and other tips can be found at SecureLoadsWA.org. This post is from the Washington State Department of Licensing.

Driving with expired tabs can result in a ticket/fine. You don't want that. We don't want that. Which is why we're mailing courtesy notices to people with lapsed registrations. Renew (and sign up for email reminders) at dol.wa.gov or at a vehicle licensing office.
A courtesy notice from the Washington State Department of Licensing indicates an expired vehicle registration. The postcard says, "Urgent notice: Your vehicle tabs have expired." It also shows a Q.R. code that can be scanned to quickly renew your tabs. Title and licensing questions? Call 360-902-3770.
