10. Text that number to 509-734-9117

Occasionally it will say "We cannot give you a number as you are already in the system". This means you have a number on an ID card somewhere. Find your ID card and send Quality Driving the number or go to the DOL to get that. You may be able to reach us by phone or text at 509-734-9117, and we will put in the waiver that allows you to get your permit while you are there. Please do not count on us being able to answer the phone when you call as we tend to be really busy during the day, and don't usually answer the phone on the weekends. If we can't answer, please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as we can.
