Mandatory Alcohol Server Training (MAST) Course Approval

Rserving's Washington Responsible Serving® course is approved by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board for online Mandatory Alcohol Server Training (MAST). Upon successful completion of this course and the final exam, each student will be mailed his or her official MAST permit (either Class 12 or Class 13). Washington State requires an official alcohol server / seller permit within 60 days of initial employment except employees conducting tasting events. To conduct tasting events, employees must hold a valid Class 12 MAST permit (no grace period).

If you are age 21 or over, you will receive a Class 12 permit and it allows you to draw alcohol from taps, mix drinks and/or manage a retail liquor licensed premises for on-premises consumption. You may also conduct alcohol tastings at a grocery store, winery, and farmer's market.

If you are between ages 18 and 21, you will receive a Class 13 permit which allows you to take alcohol orders, carry alcohol to customers and pour alcohol into a customer's glass at the customer's table in a liquor licensed establishment for on-premises consumption.

If you turn 21 after you have taken our course, contact us and we will upgrade your permit to a Class 12 permit. This permit will have the same expiration date as your Class 13 permit and can only be obtained through us: Rserving® 800-247-7737 or support@Rserving.com

Washington Licensee's Certification Card

In Washington, any person attempting to purchase alcohol is required to present proper identification proving they are 21 or older. If you have doubts about the person's age, even if the ID is one of the acceptable forms of ID, you can ask the customer to complete a Licensee Certification card.

Licensee Certification cards must be filled out completely and signed by the person presenting the ID. These cards must also be filed by the close of business the same day the cards are completed. Licensee Certification cards must be available for examination by any law enforcement officer.

A completed Licensee Certification card may be a defense against charges for serving alcohol to a minor (if the card is filled out correctly including signatures from a person who checked the ID and the minor).  This can be an evidence that you have acted in good faith to prevent the sale of alcohol to a minor.
