We highly recommend you study the Washington State Driver's Guide before testing. 

Photo ID (e.g., state-issued, passport, military, tribe, school, or yearbook) is preferred. If you are under 18 and don't have a government ID, bring a birth certificate, a parent on the certificate, and their ID. Be sure to pre-register with the DOL before testing. (If you have a Washington State ID or permit, you are already pre-registered.)
