STEPS TO GETTING YOUR CALIFORNIA LICENSE (15.5 17.5 years old)
*Note: If you turn 17.5 after getting your permit, the licensing requirements for those who are
15.5 17.5 years old no longer apply to you. You can simply meet the licensing requirements
for those who are 17.5 18 years old. The biggest difference between the two age groups is
that you don’t need to complete the behindthewheel driving hours if you are 17.5 18 years
old. Instead, you can practice driving and take your driving test as soon as you turn 18 years old.

Step 1: Take Aceable's California Drivers Ed
Complete our stateapproved 30 hour course on your iOS device, Android device, or the web. Aceable’s course has pictures, videos, memes, voiceovers, text, and popup questions we like
to mix it up and keep it interesting. We’ll mail you a Certificate of Completion of Driver
Education once you’re done with the course.
Back to top
Step 2: Get Your California Permit
Head to the DMV to ace your written test and get your permit! You’ll need to get at least 38 out
of 46 questions correct, and you have three chances to pass the test. If you fail, you must wait
seven days before taking the test again.
You’ll also need to provide a fingerprint and signature, pass a vision exam, and take a picture.
Make an appointment because the DMV doesn’t take walkins! You can also make an
appointment by using the DMV Now app or calling 18007770133.

Step 3: Do BehindtheWheel with California Drivers Ed
1. Take your first twohour lesson with a professional instructor, who will sign your permit.
You can't legally drive until you have your first behindthewheel lesson with a
professional instructor.
2. After your first twohour lesson with a professional instructor, you can start on the 50
hours of behindthewheel instruction (10 of which must be done at night) with a
parent, guardian, spouse, or adult who is 25 years old or older and has a valid California
driver license. The state of California doesn’t have any restrictions on what hours of the
day you can drive, but you should master most driving skills in daylight first.
3. You’ll need to complete two more 2hour lessons with a professional instructor (that’s
six hours total of professional instruction) before you can get your license.
Parents no longer need to keep logs for the 50 hours of behindthewheel practice. Instead,
parents now sign the second page of the student's permit (underneath the signature of the first
behindthewheel driving instructor) stating that the 50 hours of practice have been completed.
If you want, you can complete all or a portion of the 50 hours with a professional instructor.
3 V1, edited March 2016
Don’t forget, you aren’t allowed to drive alone just yet, and you should always have your
provisional permit with you!
Back to top
Step 4: Get Your California License
Within 612 months of getting your permit, after completing all of the behindthewheel driving
instruction, and when you’re at least 16 years old, head to the DMV to take the driving test and
get your license!
Make an appointment because the DMV doesn’t take walkins! You can also make an
appointment by using the DMV Now app or calling 18007770133.
If you fail your driving test, you must wait two weeks before you can take it again. You have
three chances to pass.
When you pass, the DMV will issue you an interim license that’s valid for 90 days. Your new
photo driver license will arrive in the mail. Until then, always have your interim license with you
when you drive.
In the meantime, you can’t transport passengers who are under the age of 20, and you can't
drive between 11pm and 5am. After you turn 18, these restrictions don't apply.

STEPS TO GETTING YOUR CALIFORNIA LICENSE (17.5 18 years old)
Optional: Take Aceable's California Drivers Ed
If you’re older than 17.5 but younger than 18, you aren’t required to present driver education
and driver training certificates to get your permit and license. However, you’ll still be required

help you ace the test on the first try!
Our stateapproved 30 hour course can be completed on your iOS device, Android device, or
the web. The course has pictures, videos, memes, voiceovers, text, and popup questions we
like to mix it up and keep it interesting. The course also never expires, so you don’t have to

AB 60 PERMIT & LICENSE
12 V1, edited March 2016
What is AB 60?
Beginning on January 1, 2015, the state of California started making permits and licenses
available to all California residents, regardless of their immigration status. California residents
without a social security number or proof of legal presence can apply for an AB 60 Permit or
Driver License, which comes with the same privileges as a Basic Class C Driver License.
Instead of providing a social security number and proof of legal presence, applicants for an AB
60 Permit or Driver License must provide satisfactory proof of identity (California ID, Mexican
Passport, Guatemala Passport, etc.) and California residency (lease, utility bill, school record, etc.).
Applicants for an AB 60 Permit or Driver License must also submit all other required paperwork
and documents to the DMV.*
*If you're applying for a permit, click here to see the other documents you need to bring to the
DMV.
*If you're applying for a license, click here to see the other documents you need to bring to the
DMV.
Like an applicant for a Basic Class C Driver License, an applicant for an AB 60 Driver License also
needs to present a DL 44 (Driver License Application) at the DMV. To have a DL 44 mailed to
you, call DMV's Automated Telephone Service at 18007770133 (available 24 hours a day, 7
days per week). You can also visit your local DMV office to pick one up.
● If you were previously issued a social security number, enter it on the DL 44 form.
● If you were never issued a social security number, check the box on the application
indicating this.
● Don't use a false social security number or one that wasn't issued to you by the Social
Security Administration.
● Do not complete the voter registration form if you aren't a U.S. citizen.

State Recognition of AB 60 Permits & Licenses
All AB 60 Permits and Licenses are recognized as valid by the state of California. Every AB 60
Permit and License will have a visible distinguishing feature on the front that reads "Federal
Limits Apply." On the back, it will note "Not Acceptable for Official Federal Purposes."
13 V1, edited March 2016
Please note that the law prohibits the state, local officials or agents, and any program that
receives state funds from discriminating against you because you hold or present an AB 60
Permit or License. Your AB 60 Permit or License should be accepted by state and local law
enforcement the same way as any other stateissued license or ID card.

Secondary Review
Secondary Review occurs when the DMV needs to further investigate your documents or your
record. It's designed to ensure that all eligible Californians are able to obtain a permit or
license, regardless of their immigration status.
Your application for an AB 60 Permit or License will be on hold and you can't take your driving
test until you complete the Secondary Review process. However, you should be able to take
your written test. The DMV employee should explain why you're being referred to Secondary
Review.
Reasons you may be referred to Secondary Review include:
● You previously submitted an invalid SSN or there was a mismatch with a previous DMV
record
● The identity documents you provided aren't on the list of approved documents and
must be further verified by the DMV
● Any of the documents you've provided are perceived as potentially fraudulent
● You've received a ticket from law enforcement in the past while driving (whether or not
you gave your true name).
You can access the Secondary Review Application here. To schedule a Secondary Review
appointment, call 8554211001. Wait times may vary, depending on call volume. You'll receive
an appointment confirmation letter by mail.
You'll have another opportunity to prove your identity and California residency using a wider
variety of documents, and you'll be required to attend an extra appointment with a DMV at a
different office than the field office you originally visited. Secondary Review is conducted by
staff members of the DMV's Investigations Division, who will review your identity and residency
documents. Your interview make take up to one hour.

The Secondary Review process can take anywhere from two weeks to three months it all
depends on volume and the region you're applying in.

JUNIOR PERMIT/LICENSE
If you are over 14 and under 18, you may apply for a Junior Permit (also known as a Junior
License) if one of the following circumstances exists:
● If a family member who usually drives you is ill and taking a bus (or other
transportation) isn’t an option. You’ll need your application signed by your family
member’s doctor, stating what the illness is and approximately when the family
member is likely to recover and be able to drive again.
● If getting to school and school activities via bus or other means is inadequate. You’ll
need your school principal to sign your application, verifying the facts. You will only be
able to drive from your home to school and back.
● If you work and getting to and from work via bus is inadequate, AND your income is
essential in the support of your family. Your employer will have to sign your application
and verify the distance between your home and work, and the distance from your
employment to public transportation.
● If you work for your family in a family business enterprise and it’s essential that you
drive, then you’ll need your parents to write and sign a statement saying this on your
application.
It’s not easy getting approval from the DMV for a Junior Permit/License, as they will want you
to explain why carpools, taxis, bicycles, or walking won’t work for you.
Within six months of being issued a Junior Permit, you will also have to show that you have
completed your drivers education (online with Aceable) and your behindthewheel driver’s
training (the six hours of professional instruction) or your Junior Permit will be cancelled.
Your Junior Permit will be valid for six months, or until it’s no longer necessary for you to drive a
vehicle. If you move to another address, your Junior Permit may no longer be valid, so check on
this. If you’ve violated any of the provisions, then your Junior Permit will be cancelled or
revoked.

you take it in person to a DMV office. Click here for the application.

Back to top
OutofState License
As a minor with a driver license from another state, you'll need to present your outofstate
driver license to the DMV and pass a knowledge exam as part of the application process. The
behindthewheel test is usually waived for a person with an outofstate driver license, but the
DMV may require a behindthewheel driving test for any type of driver license application.
As a minor, you will also be subject to provisional restrictions per California law. For example,
licensed teens in California can’t transport passengers under the age of 20 and can’t drive
between 11pm and 5am. After you turn 18, these restrictions don’t apply.
