Age Requirements
Young-driver licensing rules for Washington under its Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system:
- A learner’s permit is available at age 15 (if enrolled in driver education) or 15½ otherwise. Must hold the permit for at least 6 months, complete 50 hours of supervised driving (including 10 at night) before moving to the next stage.
- The Intermediate Driver License (typically at age 16+) comes with restrictions until age 18:
- Night-driving is prohibited between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. unless supervised by a licensed driver age 25+.
- Passenger limits: for the first 6 months no passengers under age 20 unless family; for the next 6 months no more than 3 passengers under age 20 who are not family.
- No use of wireless communication devices while driving (zero-tolerance for under-18s).
- A full, unrestricted license becomes available at age 18, at which point the intermediate restrictions are lifted.
