What do I need to do before I can get my license?
You must be at least 16 years old to apply for your first-time drivers license, and you will need to have held your permit for 6 months.
You’ll need to bring a few things with you to the DMV when you go to apply:
- ● Proof that you completed drivers ed and behind-the-wheel training
- ● Your permit, which must be signed by your parent, guardian, or instructor
- ● Valid vehicle registration
- ● Proof of insurance
- ● An acceptable document that proves your birth date/legal presence
- ● Proof of your true full name
- ● Your Social Security number
After that, you just need to pass your driving test, and you’ll have your California drivers license! Good luck! 
Do I need to sign up for my road test ahead of time?
Yes, you are required to schedule your road test ahead of time! You can do so here.
