Vehicle and Vessel Licensing
Need to license your car, truck, or boat? Or renew registration and tabs? King County partners with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) to issue and renew vehicle and vessel licenses. Through this partnership, King County also contracts with local businesses, called subagents, to offer convenient locations to conduct in-person licensing. Need even more convenient options? Visit dol.wa.gov to see the services that are offered online.
The exact amount of your vehicle title and registration fees depend on several factors:
- Vehicle type
- Vehicle weight
- Where you live
- License plate type
Options during SR 99 closure
The Alaskan Way Viaduct will permanently close on January 11 to allow for the realignment of SR 99 into the new downtown Seattle tunnel.
Due to the expected traffic impacts, we encourage customers to visit their nearest licensing subagent office, rather than our downtown location.
SR 99 is expected to reopen in early February.
