Mobility Option Available Jan. 1, 2026

If you were a successful applicant under House Bill 2870, you may move your license to a different county beginning Jan. 1, 2026. Here are some considerations before moving your license, according to WAC 314–55–570(8)(d): 

  1. The qualifying licensee has not secured a location in the initial county where their license is allocated; and 
  2. Any relocation into a different county requires the qualifying social equity licensee to have received an application score which exceeds the lowest score awarded for successful applicants in the desired county. 

View the list of lowest scores awarded by county here. 

  1. Title Certificate Holders are not eligible for the mobility option. Since TCH only needed to qualify but not score for the program, there is no score to determine if they are eligible to move into another jurisdiction.
