Permit upgrades and replacements

Instructions to replace a lost permit or upgrade a Class 13 permit.

1. UPGRADING PERMITS

An alcohol server who is over the age of 18 and under the age of 21 may obtain a Class 13 Permit. When the server turns 21, they may upgrade their Permit to a Class 12 Mixologist Permit. The new upgraded Class 12 Permit will have the same expiration date as the original Class 13 Permit.

If you are wishing to upgrade your Class 13 Permit, click here to check who issued your Permit. If ALES is not listed under “Provider,” then we did not issue your original permit. To upgrade, you must contact the provider who issued your permit.
If ALES did issue you your permit, then we would be happy to upgrade it for you! You can submit the ten dollar processing fee via PayPal (instructions below) or send $10 (check or cash) to the address below– include your current and correct return mailing address to:

ALES
7804B SE Salmon St.
Portland, OR 97215

Be sure to include:

1. The correct address to where your Class 12 Permit will be sent (including apt #)
2. The $ 10.00 fee, in check or cash.

Your upgraded Class 12 Permit will be sent to you as soon as possible within an approximate two week timeframe–if not sooner.

We can also electronically process your new permit. Send $ 10.00 via PayPal to [email protected]. If you do make an electronic payment, please also email [email protected] with the subject line “permit upgrade request.” In the body of the email, include your full name, current address, and phone number (in case questions arise). We need this information to find you in our database and to process and send your new permit.

Also, do keep in mind that the expiration date on your permit upgrade will be the same as your original class 13 permit. If you only have a year or two left on your current permit it may be wiser for you to take the class again; and get a fresh five years on your new class 12 permit. Also, if you are needing a permit especially quickly, you can have you certificate of completion the same day you complete the three hour class. This states that you have satisfied the State requirement of completing the ALES course.

Thanks so much. Feel free to call our support number at 206.856.0062 if you are unsure which is the best action for you to take.

Thanks again,

ALES

2. LOST PERMITS

If ALES issued your permit (please double check here) then we can replace a permit. We likely have all the information we need from your name to issue a replacement, but please do include your phone number if questions arise. Also, make sure to include a correct and current address (include apt number) so that your new permit makes its way to you successfully.

Send your full name, phone number and a $10.00 replacement fee (check or cash) to our address:

ALES
12803 NE 86th St
Vancouver, WA  98682

We can also electronically process your new permit. Send $ 10.00 via PayPal to [email protected]. If you do make an electronic payment, you must also send an email to that same email address. This email sent to [email protected] should have the subject line “permit upgrade request” and include your full name, current address, and phone number (in case questions arise) in the body of the email. We need this information to find you in our database and to process and send your new permit.

Also, do keep in mind that the expiration date on your permit replacement will be the same as your original permit. If you only have a year or two left on your lost permit it may be wiser for you to take the class again, and get a fresh five years on your permit. Also, if you are needing a permit especially quickly, you can have your certificate of completion the same day you complete the three hour class. This temporary certificate will suffice while your new permit is generated.

Thanks so much. Feel free to call our support number at 206.856.0062 if you are unsure which is the best action for you to take.
