Yakima Limited Services Driver Licensing Office closing permanently October 30

YAKIMA — Yakima County residents are advised the Yakima Limited Service Driver Licensing Office, located at 2111 West Lincoln Avenue, is closing permanently at close of business Friday, October 30.

Customers can conduct many routine transactions, such as driver license renewal and ordering a duplicate driver license, online at dol.wa.gov. Customers that must visit a licensing office in person may go to:

• Union Gap Driver Licensing Service Office
  2725 Rudkin Road
  Union Gap, WA

The Union Gap office is located behind the Washington State Patrol at the Rudkin Road complex. Hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The phone number is (509) 575-2775.

This change is for driver license services only and does not affect vehicle licensing operations.

This closure comes as part of Governor Chris Gregoire's 21st Century Government plan to save money by increasing self service options and consolidating some licensing service offices around the state.

Questions can be directed to our Customer Service line in Olympia at (360) 902-3900, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
