Registration & Licensing Requirements
Washington State law requires you to have sufficient liability insurance and a valid driver’s license in order to operate a vehicle. The term “vehicle” generally includes automobiles, motorcycles, vans, trailers and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight. Further, your vehicle must be properly registered. Even though you are in the Military, you may be required to register your vehicle in-state and obtain an in-state license within a few months of moving. Access complete information on insurance, driver’s licensing, and where and how to register your vehicle by visiting the State Department of Licensing website.
State Laws
You and your passengers must always wear seatbelts while driving, or you will be ticketed and issued heavy fines if seatbelts are not secured. State law requires that all children be properly restrained. Some states also require younger, smaller children to sit in the back seat. For complete details on appropriate child restraints, please visit the State Department of Licensing.
Motorcycles and their operators are subject to special laws. If you own and operate a motorcycle, you must comply with those laws. Visit the State Department of Licensing website for more information.
Many States and local jurisdictions have strict laws about the use of cell phones and other digital devices while driving. Research these laws on the State Department of Licensing website. Tickets will be issued and fines assessed for violating these laws. Play it safe and always use a “hands free” device if you must use a cell phone or other PDA while driving. Cell phones and hands-free devices CANNOT be used while operating a motor vehicle on Naval Station Everett.
