Reinstatement of surrendered endorsements and reciprocity.
(1) If an endorsement is surrendered, the customer has 365 days to reinstate the endorsement without the need for retesting. Once the 365 days passes, the customer is required to pass all required tests in WAC
308-109-040.
(2) Customers transferring from a reciprocal jurisdiction, with a valid motorcycle endorsement, will be issued the appropriate endorsement on their Washington credential (2W or 3W or both). If the jurisdiction the customer is transferring from does not distinguish between 2W and 3W endorsement, the customer will be issued a 2W endorsement unless they can prove they tested on a 3W motorcycle.
(3) If an endorsement is, involuntarily, not transferred from out-of-state, the customer has one renewal cycle to reinstate the endorsement without the need for retesting.
