Permit requirements depend on age and application type
For a California instruction permit, DMV requires an application, identity/residency documentation, the application fee, a vision test, and the required knowledge test. Applicants under 18 have additional requirements, including minimum age, driver education, and parent or guardian approval.
For minors, DMV states that the permit cannot be used for driving practice until behind-the-wheel training has started and a professional instructor has validated the permit.
Schedule permit assistance
Before scheduling, tell us whether the applicant is under 18 or 18+, whether Driver’s Education is complete, and whether a DMV application or appointment has already been started. That lets us prepare the service around your situation.
