The California Driver License
Minor's Permit Requirements
A minor is a person under 18 years of age. Minors must have their application for a driver license or any change of license class signed by their parents or legal guardians.
NOTE: Minors may not work as a driver for pay until they are 18 years old and licensed in California and they may not drive a school bus containing pupils.
To get a permit, you must:
* Be at least 15½, but under 18 years of age.
* Complete the application requirements.
* Have your parents’ or guardians’ signatures on the DL 44.
* Pass a traffic laws and road signs test. If you fail the test, you must wait one week before taking it again. This will give you time to study.
* If you are between 15½ and 17½, provide proof that you have met one of the following requirements:
o completed driver education (DE) and driver training (DT). (DL 387, DL 388, DL 388A, OL 237, or OL 238)-
o completed DE and are taking DT. (DL 387, DL 392, OL 237, or OL 392)
o enrolled and participating in an approved integrated DE/DT program. (DL 400)
The provisional permit is not valid until you start your behind-the-wheel driver training with an instructor or reach age 17½.
If you only have a provisional permit and you plan to drive outside of California, contact the driver licensing office in that state or country before you drive.
NOTE: If you are at least 17½, you may obtain a permit without completing DE or DT. However, to get a license before you are 18 years old, you must provide proof of DE/DT completion.
