New Designations for Drivers Licenses and ID Cards

New, optional designations are coming to Washington state driver licenses and identification cards. Beginning Jan. 1, 2022, people can add one or more symbols to their license or ID card when they have a medical condition, developmental disability, or are deaf or hard of hearing. These voluntary designations may help first responders to communicate with a person during a roadside emergency and inform them about their condition(s). Read all the details HERE
