Two different counters. A Washington driver license office will not renew your tabs. A vehicle licensing office will not take your photo. Last checked August 29, 2026.
Driver license and ID
Statewide DOL: (360) 902-3900
Appointments: dol.wa.gov/appointments
Office list: Driver licensing offices
Driver licensing offices are appointment-only. One person per appointment. Bring the document list for the service you booked — enhanced ID has a longer stack. Check in by text when they tell you to. Offices that run Tuesday–Saturday have different holiday closures than Monday–Friday offices. Do not trust a third-party “Tacoma DMV hours” page. Open the official locator the morning you go.
Vehicle tabs and titles
These are walk-in subagent offices. No DOL driver appointment. Official list: Vehicle licensing offices
