   Requirements for taking the Knowledge Test- Please read all the information!!

    - Bring your WDL number if you pre-applied  (we do not have the ability to look it up!)

Do you have a "WDL" number (pre-application #)?   

Washington permits, ID cards, and licenses use a number that starts with WDL or the first 5 letters of your last name. This number is unique to you. If you don't have a WDL number yet, the Dept. of Licensing will assign one to you when you pre-apply. Pre-apply online WA State Licensing (DOL) Official Site: Registration 

You may already have a WDL number if you have:

• A valid or expired Washington ID card, permit or license
• Already registered for a driver education class                                                                                                                    The KNOWLEDGE TEST is a  40 question, multiple choice test based  on the WA Driver Guide.  Applicants must answer 32 questions correctly to pass, a score of 80%.  ​

The best way to successfully pass the test is to study the WA Driver Guide!  The Driver guide in a PDF format is here-  Washington Driver Guide  or pick up the book at any Dept. of Licensing office (on Wynne St. in Colville).

We begin the Knowledge Test ON TIME! Once the Knowledge Test has started, we no longer admit people into the office so those taking the test won't be disturbed and we can do our job of administering the test! If there is a sign on the door that says Knowledge Testing is in progress, please respect those who are testing and DO NOT come in- we will not be able to help you during Knowledge Testing. Thank you!
