What is minor in possession?
Under Washington State Law, Minor in Possession actually refers to several different scenarios, particularly when it comes to your driving privileges. The Washington State Department of Licensing defines MIP in the following ways: When a person age 13–17 signs a diversion agreement or is convicted of possession of alcohol. (Age is determined by the incident date.) When a person age 13–20 signs a diversion agreement or is convicted of a drug offense. (Age is determined by incident date.) When a person under age 18 pleads guilty or is found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm while in a vehicle. When a person under age 18 commits any offense while armed with a firearm in which a motor vehicle served an integral function. When a person age 13–17 is convicted of any offense involving a firearm, whether or not it is related to using a motor vehicle.
