What are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license in California?
To obtain a driver's license in California, you must meet certain requirements. Firstly, you must be at least 16 years old and reside in the state. Next, you need to complete a driver's education course and hold a learner's permit for a minimum of six months. During this period, you must practice driving under adult supervision. Then, you can schedule and pass a behind-the-wheel driving test at a local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. Additionally, you will need to provide proof of your identity, legal presence, and California residency, along with a Social Security number. For minors, parental/guardian consent is required, and they must complete a driver's education course. Finally, pay the required application fee and pass a vision test. Once these requirements are met, you will receive your California driver's license!
