Ask Seattle A Question
Licensing
Catg_permits

This is the places to ask whether you need a license or permit, who issues it and how to get it. Seattle, King County and WA State all have good websites (Seattle's is considered the best in the country) but sometimes you don't even know where to star...

  • How big of a deal is it if you get caught driving with an expired license in WA?

    Here's what I've heard from my contact at the court:
    Suspended is a big deal, obviously. You'll be arrested for it (criminal offense). Expired is a $250 ticket (traffic infraction). Technically they can make you walk or call a cab or a friend, but many cops won't be that mean. If you submit by mail written proof that you have renewed your license they court will reduce the fine to $50.
