Chatom ALEA Driver License Office, Washington County

Check the office before traveling

The published address is Washington Co CH, 45 Court Street, Chatom, 36518 and the listed phone number is (251) 315-0205. Review the opening-hours section, scheduler, and current ALEA document rules before the visit.

Published hours and a scheduling link do not guarantee a same-day slot. ALEA requirements and local service availability can change.

Prepare for both stages

ALEA’s document rules apply before testing can be completed. Bring originals and verify the current fee and payment guidance.

• Identity and Social Security

  Prepare the accepted primary and secondary identity evidence and your Social Security card or other documentation ALEA allows for your situation.

• Alabama residence

  ALEA lists two proofs of principal Alabama residence. Applicants under 19 also need the published school-enrollment or graduation evidence unless an exception applies.

• Written-test preparation

  Study the current Alabama Driver Manual and road signs, then check the listed testing fee and accepted payment methods before the visit.

• Road-test vehicle and sponsor

  Adults completing all testing must bring a licensed driver, proof of insurance, and a vehicle suitable for the skills test. Under-18 requirements follow Alabama’s graduated-license rules.

How to plan the ALEA visit

1. 01

   Check the listed service

   Confirm the scheduler, office hours, and that both tests you need are available at this location.

2. 02

   Build the document file

   Gather identity, Social Security, residence, school, and license evidence that applies to your age and situation.

3. 03

   Prepare the knowledge test

   Study the current Alabama Driver Manual, signs, laws, and safe-driving rules.

4. 04

   Prepare the road test

   Bring the qualified driver, insurance evidence, and suitable vehicle, then follow the examiner’s instructions.

Documents, driver, and vehicle all matter.

Passing the written test does not waive the road-test prerequisites. Check the current ALEA rules for your age before traveling with a vehicle.
