Washington State Business and Professional License Benefits for Service Members and Military Spouses

Washington State Department of Licensing, Business and Professions Division
Military experience credited, expedited licensing, and fee-free military status during deployment

You can use military experience or training toward Washington professional licensing requirements, and if you already hold a professional licence from another state you may be able to get an expedited Washington licence. If you deploy out of state, your professional licence can be placed in military status, which keeps it active until you return and waives the renewal fee for that period.

How to apply
