What’s Inside:. Instruction Permit Requirements To decrease motor vehicle collisions involving teens, a special “provisional” driver license (DL) and instruction permit are issued to minors. A minor is a person under 18 years old. To obtain a provisional instruction permit, you must:.
Be at least 15 1/2 but under 18 years old. Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application (DL 44) form, which includes your social security number, if eligible. Have your parents or guardians sign the DL 44. If both parents or guardians have custody, both must sign.
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document or identity document. Refer to the or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website at for additional information. Provide a certificate of completion of driver education or enrollment in an integrated driver education/driver training program issued by the school providing the instruction. If your driver education or driving training courses were taken in a state other than California, DMV may accept a To Secondary Schools Other Than California Schools (DL 33) form completed by the out-of-state school. You may obtain a DL 33 form at your local DMV field office, or by calling DMV at 1-800-777-0133.
Exception: If you are at least 17 ½ years old, you may obtain an instruction permit without completing driver education or driver training.
