MY dad got his license in Seattle, WA last year. His FL License was expiring and some friends gave info that it was fairly easy to get/exchange it in Seattle. So, he flew there and got one. Very easy, Just Passport, and rent lease needed. But, my dad has friends/family over there so the lease was no problem.

However, late of last year 08, my dad was planning to drive me there (From FL.. Haha, long trip) but it turns out that the law for getting a DL has changed and became more strict. So, I never ended up going.

Of course, this is for the Seattle area only. I don't know of any recent updates. Not sure if they lessened the govern of issuing DL or not. I hope this helps for anyone planning to go to WA soon for a DL.

If there are changes in WA and any of you guys have tried recently, please post about it! I'd love to get my DL too.

Ok so i have a Michigan License that expired in Nov it says you can bring an expired license as long as its less than a year old.

so all i would need is proof of Maryland residency right?

Quote:
Exchanging an Out-of-State License for a Maryland License, Please Bring:

Proof of age, identity, Maryland residence, Out-of-State license(s), and the appropriate fee for each license class for which you apply. Please refer to Sources of Proof for required documentation.

* New Maryland residents must obtain a Maryland Driver’s License within 60 days.
* You must pass a vision test.
* An Out-of-State license may be valid or expired. If expired for one year or more, you are required to pass a knowledge and driver's skills test. If you do not have your out-of-state license in your possession you will need a letter of clearance from the licensing state. The license cannot be suspended.
* If licensed for less than 18 months, you will be issued a Maryland Provisional License.
* A valid U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) physical card or Federal/MVA waiver (if applying for a Commercial Driver's License).
* A hazardous material (HAZMAT) test is required to keep your HAZMAT endorsement (if applying for a Commercial Driver's License).
* You will be required to disclose your social security number. Applicants not eligible for a social security number will be required to provide a self-certification.
* Out-of-State learner's permits cannot be exchanged for a Maryland Learner's Permit or license.

Note: If you are presenting an Out-of-State license with foreign issued documents, you will be required to schedule an appointment.
