The DMV requires that anyone applying to take their permit test must be at least 15 ½, have completed Drivers Education and be enrolled in Behind-the-Wheel Training.


If you are under 18 and at least 15 ½ you can apply for a provisional driver license. The first step to getting your license is to get your instruction permit. Because you are under 18, your permit and driver license are called, "Provisional." This means you have additional restrictions placed on your permit and driver license that adults (18 and over) do not have.

Your provisional instruction permit will have the following restrictions.

• You must obey the traffic laws
• You must drive without a collision
• You must drive with your parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license.
• You must hold your permit for six months before you can take your driving test to get your driver license.

Enroll in both Drivers Education and Behind-the-Wheel training now and save $10.00 off the regular price!
