Yakima Washington Online Driver Education and Yakima Washington Licensing Procedures
The process of applying for your Yakima Washington learner's permit or first Yakima Washington driver's license can be nerve-racking, but it doesn't have to be if you have the right information. We want you to get as much out of this experience as possible, and have designed this guide to help guide you through the process. Yakima Washington has a Graduated Driver License Program for Yakima Washington teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Yakima Washington driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s jump right in.
The Yakima Washington Learner’s Permit or Yakima Washington Instruction Permit
If you enroll in a Yakima Washington approved driver education course (see the note at the bottom of this guide about online providers), you can apply for a Yakima Washington Instruction permit when you turn 15. However, you must apply for the permit no more than 10 days before the class starts.
When you turn 15 and a half, you can also apply for a Yakima Washington Instruction Permit. Either way, in order to apply you’ll need:
- If 15, your application must be signed by your driving school instructor
- Yakima Washington Instruction Permit fee $20
- A completed Parental Authorization Affidavit
- Proof of residence and identity
- Pick up the Washing Driver Guide to study for the written test
Once all of this is in place, make an appointment, then head on down to your local Yakima Washington Driver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test. If you’re not enrolled in a Yakima Washington approved driver education course, you’ll also have to pass a knowledge test. You've accomplished the first step--you know have a Yakima Washington Instruction Permit, which is valid for 1 year and may be renewed once.
Remember, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who has at least 5 years experience. Of course, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Yakima Washington Learner’s Permit with you at all times.
Once you’ve held your Yakima Washington Instruction Permit for 6 months without incident and have met a few more requirements, you’ll graduate to the next step in the Yakima Washington Graduated License Program, the Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver License.
The Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver License or Yakima Washington Provisional License
You can apply for your Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver’s License once you’ve held your Yakima Washington Instruction Permit for 6 months in good standing. However, you’ll also need to satisfy the following requirements:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Pass a Yakima Washington approved traffic safety course
- Hold a Yakima Washington Instruction Permit for 6 months
- Practice driving for at least 50 hours with a licensed driver with 5 years experience
- At least 10 hours must be at night
- Record your driving practice in the Intermediate License logbook
- Your parents and read the Yakima Washington Parent Guide to Teen Driving or Safe-Driving Agreement to help out
- And finally, drive without Yakima Washington traffic violations or alcohol or drug convictions
All set? Then, make an appointment and head on down to your local Yakima Washington Driver License Office again. Remember to bring your parent/guardian, your traffic safety certificate, your identification documents, and your Parental Authorization Affidavit. Now you’ll have to take the dreaded Yakima Washington road test! If you pass, then give yourself a reward: you’ve just earned your Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver’s License! Now you're just a few more months of good behavior away from getting your full license.
Yakima Washington Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
There are still a few restrictions you’ll have to keep in mind now that you have your Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver’s License:
- All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
- For the first 6 months, no passengers under 20 unless they are family members
- For the second 6 months, no more than 3 passengers under 20 except for family members
- For the first 12 months, no driving between 1AM and 5AM unless with a driver 25 or older (or if you drive for agricultural purposes)
- And finally, no cell phones while driving (that includes hands-free devices)
Upon your first violation of these restrictions, you’ll receive a warning letter. For your second violation, your Yakima Washington Intermediate Driver license will be suspended for 6 months (or until you turn 18, whichever comes first). Upon your third violation, your Yakima Washington License will be suspended until you turn 18. If these seems strict, just remember that once you turn 18, these restrictions will be removed. And then, freedom!
Yakima Washington Drunk Driving Laws
As a Yakima Washington teen driver, you'll face no bigger threat than the one posed by drunk drivers. it’s important for you to learn the Yakima Washington drunk driving laws and follow them religiously. Like most states, Yakima Washington has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking, and if you are convicted of a Yakima Washington DUI or Yakima Washington DWI, your Yakima Washington Learner Permit or Yakima Washington Driver’s License will be suspended.
In general, upon your first conviction of a Yakima Washington DUI of .08, you’ll also face the following penalties:
- Yakima Washington License Suspension 90 days
- Jail 24 hours to 1 year or Electronic Home Monitoring 15 days
- Fine $865.50 to $5,000
For a Blood Alcohol Content of .15 or above, you’ll face the following penalties:

- Fine $1,120.50 to $5,000
- Yakima Washington License Suspension 1 year
- Ignition Interlock Device installation
- Possible Alcohol/Drug Education class
And of course, further Yakima Washington DWI and DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Yakima Washington license suspension or even Yakima Washington license revocation. There's no bigger abuse of the privilege of driving than getting behind the wheel drunk, and the State of Yakima Washington takes it very seriously.
- $25,000 bodily injury for one person
- $50,000 bodily injury two or more people
- $10,000 for property damage per accident
If you are in an accident and found to be driving without Yakima Washington mandatory liability insurance, your Yakima Washington Learner Permit or Yakima Washington Driver’s License could be suspended.

Currently, Yakima Washington teen drivers are prohibited from using cell phones while driving, even with hands-free devices! And at any age, frequent cell phone use while driving can be risky, so keep it to a minimum!

Yes, however the specific documents you will need before taking the learner's permit test varies from state to state. Most likely, you will need to present a certificate of completion showing you have successfully completed a Yakima Washington driver education online course. However, Yakima Washington may or may not need additional documentation from you including, but not limited to, proof of U.S. citizenship, parental consent forms, or proof of school enrollment. We recommend that you contact the Yakima Washington DMV, or visit its website, to learn exactly what paperwork the Yakima Washington DMV will need you to present when you apply for your Yakima Washington learner's permit test.
