Most of my friends are driving right now, and I don't have my provisional driver's license, yet. The sad part is, I don't really know how to get it!

Can anyone explain the whole process of getting it in California?

Where can I take driver's ed online/any good sites?

  1. Before being eligible to take your driving test you must:

    Be 16 years old

    AND

    Have held your permit for a minimum of six months

    AND

    Have completed driver education

    AND

    Have completed 6 hours of professional driver training

    AND

    Have completed 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 years or older. The adult must have a valid California driver license and certify to the 50 hours of practice. At least 10 of the 50 hours must have been done at night.

    To take your driving test, you will need to:

    Make a driving test appointment. (Driving tests are not given without an appointment.) You may also call 1-800-777-0133 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, to make a driving test appointment.

    Provide proof of financial responsibility

    After you pass your driving test you will be issued an interim license valid for 60 days until you receive your new photo license in the mail. Check your address before you leave DMV and tell the DMV representative if you have moved or if your address is incorrect. If you have not received your license after 60 days, call 1-800-777-0133 to check on the status. Have your interim license with you to provide information when requested.

    If you fail your driving test, you must wait two weeks before you can take the test again. You have three chances to pass.

    If driver education and driver training were taken in a state other than California, DMV will accept either a To Secondary Schools Other Than California Schools form DL 33 completed by the out-of state school, or a letter on the out-of state school’s stationery signed by a school official stating that the courses are equivalent to California’s requirements. Instructional permits issued by another state are not acceptable proof.

    Do you have your permit?  If not:

    How to apply for a provisional permit if you are under 18

    To apply for a provisional permit, you will need the following:

    Be at least 15 ½, but under 18 years of age

    Visit a DMV office (make an appointment for faster service)

    Complete the application form DL 44 (An original DL 44 form must be submitted. Copies obtained by xeroxing, faxing, or other methods will not be accepted.)

    Have your parents’ or guardians’ signatures on the application form DL 44

    Give a thumb print

    Have your picture taken

    Provide your social security number. It will be verified with the Social Security Administration while you are in the office.

    Verify your birth date and legal presence

    Provide your true full name

    Submit the proper form(s) for driver education and/or driver training classes (See below for details.)

    Pay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any type within the 12-month period and pays for both the instruction permit and the driver license. If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period, the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again.)

    Pass a vision exam

    Pass a traffic laws and sign test. There are 46 questions on the test. A passing score is at least 39 correct answers. You have three chances to pass the test. If you fail, you must wait 7 days before taking it again.
