Can you drive with your signed papers until you get your actual license card?

Question

I just finished behind the wheel, and I'm getting my signed papers in order to get my license. But DMV is already closed. Am I allowed to drive with the signed papers until I get a chance to go to DMV and actually get the card? Aren't the papers the same as your license, just in paper form?

Answer 1

In California, when you pass your driving test they give you a temporary paper license, which you can use to drive until you get your card license in the mail.
