네일 테크니션 (미용사) in Washington

Washington licenses nail technicians (manicurists) through the Department of Licensing (DOL). The exam uses National-Interstate Council (NIC) content; the current vendor is Prov, Inc. (it replaced DL Roope in 2026). You must pass both a written and a practical exam with a scaled score of 75.00; the written test is 90 minutes. Important for language: although Washington's DRIVER license exam is famously offered in Vietnamese and Korean, the NAIL exam is NOT — the official bulletin offers only a reservable word-to-word translation dictionary as an accommodation, not a translated written test, so the real nail written exam is in English. Our Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean/Spanish practice questions are a study aid. You need 600 school hours (or a 2,000-hour apprenticeship); failed exams can be retaken with no waiting period.

State rules and fees change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official board or vendor source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” Always verify current requirements with your state board or its testing vendor before you register. Our practice questions are a study aid and never imply your state offers the exam in a language it does not.
