Check the status of your license, renew, or sign up for a new one. This is the main DOL portal for all driver licensing matters in Washington.
Request a Washington DOL Hearing
If you’ve been arrested for DUI, you have only 7 days from the date of arrest to request an administrative hearing with the Department of Licensing. Missing this deadline means automatic license suspension. The hearing fee is $375 (waivable for indigent applicants). Act immediately — weekends and holidays count toward the deadline.
Washington Ignition Interlock Information
Detailed information on Ignition Interlock Device (IID) requirements, how to get one installed, financial assistance options, and how to apply for an Ignition Interlock Driver License (IIL) that allows you to drive during a suspension.

Washington Speedy Trial Deadline Calculator
A free tool for calculating speedy trial deadlines under CrR 3.3 (superior court) and CrRLJ 3.3 (courts of limited jurisdiction). Enter the commencement date, custody status, and any excluded periods to get the exact trial deadline. Built for Washington criminal defense attorneys.
Washington Courts Records Request
Search for cases filed in municipal, district, superior, and appellate courts statewide. For most superior courts, use the Odyssey Portal for the most current case information. Note: this search does not show case outcomes — contact the court of record directly for complete records.
The Washington State Patrol maintains criminal history records separately from the courts database. Run an instant online background check through WATCH (Washington Access to Criminal History) for $11. When researching vacations or prior convictions, always check both the courts database and WSP — they don’t always match.
Find Your Court Date in Washington
Look up upcoming court dates through the Washington Courts case search system. Always confirm your court date by calling the clerk’s office directly — the online system updates every 24 hours and may not reflect same-day changes.
Recent opinions from the Washington Court of Appeals and Washington Supreme Court, available through the Appellate Court Public Document Portal. No registration required for cases filed after January 1, 2020.
