Washington Limits Driver’s License Requirements

by | Jul 10, 2025

Beginning July 27, 2025, employers of all sizes are prohibited from requiring a driver’s license as a condition of employment or stating that applicants must have a driver’s license in a job posting. There’s an exception if driving is an essential function of the job (like for a delivery driver) or is related to a legitimate business purpose for the position.

*Action Item*
Remove any driver’s license requirement from your job ads, applications, and other communications, unless the exception applies.
