Can You Take ADIS Online in Washington?

Two very different kinds of “online ADIS”

• Live telehealth ADIS. A real, scheduled class over secure video, taught by a Washington State Department of Health–certified agency, with a certificate that identifies the agency. Widely used since 2020 and routinely accepted by Washington courts and the Department of Licensing.
• Self-paced internet classes.Websites — often out of state — selling “alcohol awareness” courses you click through on your own time. These providers usually aren't Washington-certified, and their certificates are regularly rejected. Some even carry a warning in their own fine print that Washington may not accept them.

People pick the second kind because it's cheap and instant, then end up paying twice and asking the court for more time. If a website will sell you a certificate at 2 AM without a live instructor, treat that as the red flag it is.

How to verify a provider before paying

• Ask whether the agency is certified by the Washington State Department of Health (certified agencies are listed in the state's facility search)
• Confirm the class is live and instructor-led, not self-paced
• Ask your court or attorney whether telehealth attendance is accepted for your case — most accept it, a few judges want in-person
