Trip Permits

Trip permits are needed when you have an unlicensed vehicle that you need to operate on public highways for vehicles with expired tabs.

To obtain a permit, you just need to go to a vehicle licensing office and request the permit, along with payment. Permits for vehicles are limited to 3 in a 30-day period; permits for RV’s are limited to 2 in a 1-year period.

To obtain a permit, please submit:

Proof you’ve applied for registration outside of WA, through an Out-of-State Application, Letter of Request, or a Notarized statement of fact, stating you’ve done this

This permit will allow you to use the vehicle in WA while you apply for out-of-state registration. It is valid for 45 days and must be displayed on the vehicle, so it is visible from the outside.

ATV's/ORV's Temporary Permits

To get a permit, bring your payment to our office and request it. Permits are good for 60 days from the date of issue.
