- Class 13 Permit: For servers aged 18-20. Holders can take orders, carry alcohol to customers, and pour alcohol into a customer’s glass at their table.
- Class 12 Permit: For those 21 and older. Holders can mix drinks, pour alcohol from taps, manage the establishment, and conduct alcohol tastings. At least one Class 12 permit holder must be on duty at all times in on-premises establishments.
If you hold a Class 13 permit, you can upgrade to a Class 12 permit when you turn 21.
Does Washington State Require Alcohol Server Training?
Yes, Washington law mandates that all on-premises alcohol servers complete MAST training within 60 days of employment. You must have your MAST permit and a valid ID available for inspection while serving alcohol. Some employers may also request a copy of your permit.
For employees of off-premises alcohol retailers, there is a voluntary Responsible Vendor Program (RVP) offered by the WSLCB.
How Long Does a MAST Permit Last?
Your MAST permit expires five years after the issue date. There is no grace period for renewal, so it is recommended to complete a new course at least 45 days before your permit expires to ensure uninterrupted certification.
