Knowledge testing (car, motorcycle, sidecar/trike) may be available at our Tacoma location during regular business hours Monday - Friday from 9am - 4:30pm, excluding holidays.
Prior to testing with us for your driver license (knowledge or skills) you must be registered with the WA DOL License eXpress. You can do this when you show up for testing, or you can save time and do it in advance — WA DOL License eXpress.
What if I don't pass the tests?
You can retest at any time including the same day if you are ready to do so. Normal testing fees apply.
What types of questions are on the knowledge test?
The WA Department of Licensing has a practice test on their web site with 5 sample questions. Go to the DOL web site for the practice test. You can also read the WA Driver Guide at the DOL web site (available in multiple languages).
Do I need my own vehicle for the skills test?
No, however the vehicle must be compliant with all WA laws applicable - including registration and insurance. Go to our Terms & Conditions page for full skills test requirements.
If you don't have a vehicle meeting this criteria you may use a school car for an additional fee of $20.
I've made an appointment, but where do I find out the details?
After making an appointment and paying the fee you'll be sent (by email most of the time) information about where to go, when to check in, what to expect, and some basic policies. You can Contact Us if you have any questions or concerns. Please read the Terms & Conditions for full details.
Can I cancel or reschedule my testing appointment?
