If you were arrested for a DUI an officer may have hole-punched your driver’s license. If your license has been punched this means the officer has reported your DUI arrest to the Department of Licensing (DOL). The hole in your license represents that the license will expire within the next 60 days.

During that time the DOL will take action by either suspending or revoking your license. If your breath test was.08 or higher your license will be suspended for a minimum of 90 days or up to two years. The officer who punched your license should have given you a notice and the DOL Hearing Request form.

This is required for all arrests where a breath test is administered and the result was.08 or higher, or where a test was refused.

When you provide a breath sample above the legal limit (.02 for a minor and.08 for an adult) or when you refuse a test of your breath or blood the officer is required to punch a hole in your driver's license. This is notice to you that your license is only valid for 60 days (unless you challenge the DOL action). The punching of the license does not by itself invalidate your license as you can still drive until DOL takes action. While you can still drive, most bars will not take your license with a hole in it. When DOL issues you a new license they punch a hole in the old one to indicate that it is no longer valid. The bar has no way of knowing why the license was punched.

If you have an ID card instead of a driver's license the officer should not punch it. An ID card does not give you the privilege to drive and is not relevant to a DUI. The officer may have misunderstood your question or he may guessing what the consequences of punching the ID card are.

These are good questions to ask your attorney as they more often have the correct answer about collateral consequences. If this is an ID card, simply go to DOL and get a replacement ID.

If this is a driver's license you can go get an ID, interlock ignition license or replacement driver's license depending on your license status. If you have a valid license in Washington State (i.e. It was not suspended or the suspension is over) and a punched driver's license, you should get a new one at the Department of Licensing for the reasons explained below. It's still a valid driver's license for driving purposes (an officer can check your status more or less immediately on her computer or via dispatch to verify its good) but a bar has no such ability to check the license's validity of a punched Washington State driver's license.
