Washington intermediate licence
Driver training decides whether you drive at 16 or 18
Washington ties the whole timeline to driver training. Skip it and you can still get a permit — but you wait until 18 for a licence. That single fact reshapes the decision for most families.
Instruction permit
Enrolled in an approved driver training course, you can apply from 15. Without training, the minimum is 15½.
- Valid one year
- Supervising driver must have been licensed at least five years
- Minors may not use a wireless device while driving
Intermediate licence at 16
You need the permit held six months, a completed driver training course, and 50 hours of supervised practice including 10 at night, certified by a parent or guardian. No traffic violations in the six months before you apply.
The first year of restrictions
These run from the issue date:
- First 6 months: no passengers under 20 except immediate family
- Next 6 months: no more than three passengers under 20 outside immediate family
- First 12 months: no driving 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. unless a licensed driver aged 25 or older is with you
Washington enforces these as a secondary action — an officer who stops you for another offence can also cite the restriction breach. A second violation means a six-month suspension or until you turn 18, and a third means suspension until 18.
Frequently asked questions
Washington teen permit and intermediate licence FAQs
Can I get a Washington licence at 16 without driver training?
No. Driver training is what makes licensing before 18 possible. Without an approved course you can still hold an instruction permit from 15½, but you wait until you are 18 to be licensed.
Who can supervise my practice driving in Washington?
A driver training instructor, or a licensed adult who has held a licence for at least five years. Washington’s five-year rule is stricter than the age-based rule most states use.
How many practice hours does Washington require?
Fifty hours of supervised driving including at least 10 hours at night, certified by a parent or guardian. DOL publishes an intermediate licence logbook to record them.
What are the passenger rules on an intermediate licence?
For the first six months, no passengers under 20 except immediate family. For the following six months, no more than three passengers under 20 who are not immediate family.
What is the Washington night driving restriction?
For the first 12 months you may not drive between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed driver aged 25 or older. Narrow agricultural exceptions exist in statute.
What happens if I break an intermediate licence restriction?
A second violation suspends your licence for six months or until you turn 18, whichever comes first. A third suspends it until you are 18. DOL notifies both you and your parent or guardian first.
Do I need a new licence when I turn 18?
No. The intermediate driver licence becomes a regular driver licence automatically at 18.
I just moved to Washington with an out-of-state licence — what applies?
Drivers under 18 moving to Washington are issued an intermediate licence and must follow its restrictions. Check DOL’s transfer guidance for the deadline that applies after you establish residency.
