WHAT IS HAPPENING?

The Department of Licensing (DOL) is changing their method for notifying customers when they’re eligible to renew their license.

• The renewal reminder DOL sends will no longer include a form to fill out and mail back.
• The new reminder directs customers to DOL's new online system to see the amount owed and complete their renewal.
• Renewing online is the quickest way for customers to get their license renewed.

Your renewal reminder will be sent through U.S. mail if DOL does not have a current email address on file.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

Email allows DOL to send you multiple renewal reminders.

• Renewing online is the quickest way for customers to get their license renewed.
• You have the ability to print your license from your personal computer.
• Renewing online offers more electronic services to DOL customers with more options to pay.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

Customers will be sent a reminder that it’s time to renew. Your renewal reminder will include the date and links to renew online. You will need to log into your online account at www.dol.wa.gov to complete and pay for your renewal.

• Your new renewal notice is for your records only and will not need to be returned to the DOL office. After you renew, most professions will be able to self-print your license and receipt for your records.
• Multiple payment options are available.
• Please make sure to update your contact information when you renew online.

Customers without an email address on file will receive a mailed letter 60 days from license expiration.

Email renewal notices will be sent 60, 30, and 7 days out from expiration date.
