More than ever, people in Washington state are saving time by going online to do business with the Department of Licensing. This video takes a fun approach at showing the upward trend in online transactions for the years 2008, 2009 & 2010.
People are going online to renew their driver license, replace a lost driver license, obtain a copy of their driving record (Abstract of Driving Record or “ADR”) and much more.
Hope you enjoy the video. And remember, you can “skip a trip” by going to dol.wa.gov for a variety of licensing transactions.




The customer service person who answered the phone at (360) 902-3900 was so rude. I just had a clarifying question and she said “Just follow my directions ma’am” in a mean tone of voice. Is it too much to ask to be treated well when calling a government agency?
No, it’s not too much to ask to be treated well. And you should expect to be treated with respect. That’s a given. We have a lot of great people who provide excellent customer assistance. Sorry that you had a poor experience. It’s good, though, that you shared your story with us here. We know we’re not perfect, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our service.
