Undocumented Washingtonians Can Apply for Professional State Licenses & Certifications

Prior to the passing of House Bill 1889, career paths including real estate agents, home inspectors, to athletic trainers and music therapists were closed off to undocumented immigrants without social security numbers. Jobs like private investigators and notary publics were also reserved only for United States citizens and lawful residents. Now with HB 1889 becoming law on July 1, 2024, students can continue pursuing their futures. (Taken from King 5 News article.)
