As a dependent, you must be identified on your parents or guardians most recent federal income tax returns.
Note: If parents are separated, students can be claimed as a dependent by either parent, as long one parent has established domicile in Washington for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the date of application.

You must complete sections one and two of the residency status questionnaire. A parent or legal guardian must complete section three. In addition to the completed questionnaire, your parents or legal guardian must provide the following documentation demonstrating ties with Washington for a minimum of one year:
