HELP! I CAN’T FIND AN APPOINTMENT!

Are you a motorist in Washington state who needs to visit a driver licensing office in person but can't find an appointment? Don't worry; you're not alone. Many Washington drivers have found themselves in the same situation, especially when trying to secure an appointment at one of the state's most popular offices. But there's good news: there are several other offices with plenty of availability.

The Department of Licensing recommends checking online to see if your business can be done remotely. If not, you may have to visit a driver licensing office in person. But when you go online to schedule an appointment, you may find that none are available at your preferred location or time.

If this is the case, don't panic. Appointments open up daily, and you can try again later. It's also worth noting that there may be other driver licensing offices nearby with more availability. For example, the Kent office is one of the busiest, but the Redmond office is a great alternative for those living in the greater Seattle area. The Lakewood office is another option with plenty of availability and will open in a new location in 2022.

Both Redmond and Lakewood have ample parking and offer hundreds of appointments each month, including Saturdays. If neither of these options works for you, check out the map of all driver licensing offices on the Department of Licensing website. With over 50 offices statewide, you're likely to find a location that can accommodate your needs.

Remember to be patient and keep trying. With a little persistence, you can secure an appointment and take care of your driver licensing business in no time.
