There are two types of household goods permits.

(1) Provisional permit: An applicant must complete a household goods moving company permit application to receive a provisional permit. A provisional permit lasts for a period of not less than six months. In determining whether to grant provisional authority, the commission will consider the criteria outlined in WAC 480-15-302.

(2) Permanent permit: Once the applicant has held a provisional permit for at least six months, the commission will consider whether to grant the applicant a permanent permit. A permanent permit has no expiration date. The applicant does not need to file a second application for permanent authority. In determining whether to grant permanent authority, the commission will consider the criteria outlined in WAC 480-15-305.
