2If your driver license has been suspended or revoked you may be eligible for an
Occupational/Restricted License (ORL).
An ORL can be used to drive to:
• work, or for work, including self-employment, WorkFirst, apprenticeship, or on-the-job training.
• school.
• court-ordered community service.
• substance abuse treatment or 12-step meeting if no transit service is available.
• a healthcare provider.
• anywhere that is required to provide continuing care of someone who is dependent on you.
To be eligible:
• you must have had a valid driver license.
• you had no convictions for vehicular assault or vehicular homicide within seven years before the incident for which you are
requesting the ORL.
• your suspension/revocation is not for DUI, physical control, minor in possession, vehicular assault or homicide, intermediate
license violations, failure to pay child support, fraud, violation of court-ordered probation, medical or vision reasons, habitual
traffic offender status, or failure to enter into or comply with a required alcohol/drug treatment program.
• you cannot get an ORL to operate a commercial motor vehicle (Chapter 46.25 RCW).
To apply
Complete a separate application for each reason for driving.
1. Submit proof of financial responsibility with us by filing one of these:
• a Certificate of Insurance (SR-22). (This is the most common. An insurance agent can help you but you should allow
several weeks for the process.)
• a State Treasurer’s certificate of deposit of $60,000 or approved collateral of equal value.
• a surety bond executed by the person giving proof and a surety company duly authorized to do business in this state, or
by the person giving proof and by two individual sureties.
2. If you are applying because:
• of an alcohol-related suspension or revocation, you cannot get an Occupational/Restricted driver license but can apply for
an Ignition Interlock driver license.
• of a conviction, verify that we have record of the conviction on file before you submit your application. We cannot process
an application without the conviction on file.
• you did not pay a ticket or appear in court (FTA), submit proof that you have entered into a payment plan with the court.
Each FTA suspension requires proof from the related court.
3. Take this completed application(s) and a $100 nonrefundable fee to any driver licensing office or mail them to:
Occupational/Restricted License
Department of Licensing
PO Box 9048
Olympia, WA 98507-9048
Waiting period
Once your application is processed and you have met all the requirements, we will mail the ORL to you.
Keeping your ORL
The ORL will restrict:
• the times you may drive.
• the area in which you may drive.
Your ORL will be cancelled if any of the following occurs:
• you are convicted of violating the ORL restrictions.
• your driving privilege is suspended or revoked while the ORL is in effect.
• we receive evidence that your reason for driving is no longer valid.
