Moving? Get WA license
By law, you have 30 days to get your Washington driver license once you establish residency in Washington State.

How to establish residency in Washington
You’re considered a Washington resident when you do any of the following:
Arrive and begin establishing a home in Washington.
Register to vote.
Receive state benefits.
Get any Washington State license at resident rates.
Receive in-state tuition fees.

On behalf of the Attorney General Robert M. McKenna, thank you for your inquiry received October 19, 2012. Your inquiry was forwarded to me for response. I represent the Department of Licensing, Firearm program. In your inquiry you ask if for a person who has established residency, and acquired a WA drivers license, does this individual also need to hold residency for 90 days, or can they apply for the permit essentially immediately?

To apply for a concealed carry license as a resident, you must bring your 90 day proof of residency when you apply, therefore you can not apply before having your 90 day proof.

You can find all the requirements to apply for a Washington firearm permit at Washington Department of Licensing’s website, including documents you’ll need at: http://www.dol.wa.gov/business/firearms ... alreq.html. You may also contact the Department of Licensing, Firearms Unit for general information. You may reach them at 360-664-6616 or by e-mail at firearms@dol.wa.gov.

Sincerely,
SUSAN L. PIERINI
Assistant Attorney General

Meh. When I went in and applied, and it was a drivers license. I didn't need to bring in utility bills, proof of longer residency etc.

Like I said a few posts ago. Forget the AG, go apply.

If you don’t have a Washington State driver license or ID card, you must provide proof you have lived in the state for at least the last 90 days.

I went down to the sheriff's office this morning to fill out the CPL paperwork (Camano Island). Found out they only do them twice a month. 1st and 3rd Thursday night between 5 and 7 pm. I'll have to wait until next week.

If you are wondering why I don't have one, it's because I don't carry my .44. Too difficult to conceal a .44 mag with a 7 1/2" barrel

But I bought a Sig. p226 today, should be here in about a week.... that I will carry.

I also realize the value of a CPL here a WAGuns.

thanks
