I had a traffic violation and was driving my mother's car (she is a Washington resident and the car is registered in Washington). With me having an valid Oregon license, the officer was confused about my residency and was under the wrong impression that I am a Washington resident. He gave me a ticket for my violation, but said that he won't ticket me for not having a Washington license. He then cut my valid Oregon license in half and told me to get a Washington license. Is my current Oregon license now invalid? How would I check? I am currently an Oregon resident, and visit my parents in Washington for weeks at a time every so often. I do own my house in Oregon, and have current utility bills proving my Oregon residency. I'm unsure how to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help.
Answer
Assuming your license was valid - in Washington you can obtain a new replacement license online once per year by paying a nominal fee - I would try to get a new one from the DOL.
