wa driver license...

i live in WA (been living for 7 yrs) and I was gonna wait till i get a SSN and work permit to get a driver license becuz the process wud be a lot easier but i got a little impatient and I decided to get one today. I went to a driver licensing department thats around my house and I told the guy that I don't have SSN and they said i need to give them 4 proofs for my id. I handed the guy my passport and hs transcript and yr book and this is wut he said " U are over 18 yrs old and u are required to have ssn in order to make a driver license" ...................

Has the the law in WA state been changed?

Did you have a WA ID prior? I do not think it has changed, haven't heard any news of it. Try going to a more immigrant friendly one. Where did you go? The one in kent is nice

no i have not had any wa id in the past... The employee was asian and he sounded like he doesn't know anything.

thanks for telling me about the kent one. but i have one question. wuts the difference between making one with SSN and without one? Like if i don't have one do i have to pay extra fee and will the waiting period be longer?

probly have to ask for the non sucure dl or id, and yeah i was under the impression Wa still allowed illegals get an id/dl

If you don’t have a Social Security number when you apply for a driver license, photo instruction permit, or ID card, you’ll need to show proof of Washington residence.

If you don’t have a Social Security number, you may sign a declaration form and provide proof of Washington residence.
If you’re applying for a Commercial Driver License (CDL), you must provide your Social Security number. We can’t issue you a CDL if you don’t have one.
Proof of Washington residence
If you don’t have a Social Security number:

Bring as many of the following documents as possible to be reviewed as proof of your Washington residence address:
Home utility bill (gas, electric, water, garbage, land-line telephone, or ISTA. etc).
Not acceptable: Cable, internet or satellite TV bills.
A college or university document that has your current residential address on file.
Off-campus students: Bring the printout from the SEVIS database which:
Is in a sealed envelope with the college return address.
Has your address
Has proof it was printed by the “Designated School Official” or “Responsible Officer.”
WA Department of Corrections (DOC) electronic ID Letter that has your current residential address.
Selective Service card with your current residential address.
Vehicle title (not a Quick Title with a tamper proof tape over the VIN and Title number).
Bank-issued documents, for the last 30 days which include your current residential address, such as:
Account statement
Credit card statement
Mortgage statement
Note: Your documents must include your name and current Washington residential address. It’s illegal to present fraudulent documents. If we find that your documents are fraudulent, you won’t be able to reapply for 364 days.

When you apply, you’ll get a handout with instructions for completing the application process.
Within 2 weeks, we’ll send you a letter and form to request an appointment with us to review your documents.
Complete the form and send it back to us by mail or fax following the instructions on the form.
We’ll call you to schedule an appointment, and meet with you to verify your proof of Washington residence.
After we verify your Washington residence address, we’ll issue your driver license, photo instruction permit, or ID card.

From experience they didn't ask me to sign a declaration form nor did I even have to show proof of residence. All I said was I had no ssn. However its been 10 or more years since I got my FIRST WA ID and renewal is easier. The only thing we are not eligible yet is a an enhanced ID which requires citizenship so yeah not for a while

I don't think it has changed, but Sam Reed the secretary of state wants to take drivers license from undocumented people to supposedly prevent voter fraud. I read an article about it last week. I don't think it will happen though

LOL!! You brought your yearbook at the DMV?? Here lol... http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl...03&tx=70&ty=52

You probably need your IRS tax id to use as your social security #. thats what they do at New Mexico.

Do you have to show your SS Card or just post the # in the application?

Also, if you live out of state and have a valid/expired DL/ID then can you just walk in an get a license? Would they mail it to your out of state home?
