Florida Online Course + Permit Test

What You Need to Get Your Learners Permit in Florida

If you’ve never gotten a driver's license before and you’re under 18 years old, you’ll need to get a learner’s license first. A learner’s license, also known as a learner’s permit, gives you the ability to drive under limited circumstances until you’re eligible for a full drivers license.

To get a learners permit, Florida requires:

• Applicants must be at least 15 years old.
• A signed and notarized Parental Consent Form for applicants under 18 years old.
• Proof of identity.
• Proof of residential address.
• Proof of social security number.
• Completion of the TLSAE Florida Drug & Alcohol course.
• Pass a hearing and vision test.
• Pass the Class E knowledge permit exam.

The learners permit test has 50 multiple-choice questions. You’ll need to get a score of 80% or higher, which means you’ll need to get at least 40 questions correct. Once you pass you can get a Florida learners permit and start getting practice behind the wheel.
