Washington Instruction Permit:

An instruction permit allows a person learning to drive to practice under direct supervision. The permit allows a person who has had a driver license for 5 years or more to supervise a new driver from the passenger seat. A permit is not a license. You must not drive unsupervised while you have a permit. Most importantly, the person in the passenger seat accepts full responsibility of the drivers' actions. The supervising passenger is responsible if the driver crashes, gets pulled over by law enforcement, or does anything else wrong behind the wheel. Also, if the permit you are using to practice does not have your photo on it, you must carry some other type of photo id every time you drive. A school ID is fine. You must be able to prove to an officer that you are the person listed on the permit.
