In order to get the Florida learners permit and eventually the Florida drivers license, everyone no matter how old must pass a written test on traffic laws and signs. 70% of test-takers fail on their first try and end up returning to Driver & Vehicle Services.
A proven way to increase your chances of passing your learners permit test is with up-to-date online Florida Driver & Vehicle Services practice permit tests. Randomly generated questions test your driving knowledge and prepare you for the real deal.
Apply for your learners permit at your local Driver & Vehicle Services office.
Note: all documents provided to FL Driver & Vehicle Services must be originals or certified copies.
After you pass the written exam, you'll be issued a learners license to practice driving. Your learners license will carry the following restrictions:
After you earn your learners license, you'll need to practice driving under supervision. If you're under 18, you will need to hold your learners license for at least 12 months during which time you must complete at least 50 hours (10 at night) of practice driving with a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old.
Note: in Florida, Driver & Vehicle Services does not require new drivers to take in-car driving lessons with a driving school. However, for your safety and the safety of those around you, DriversEd.com strongly recommends that you take driving lessons with a licensed driving school.
Once you are ready to take the driving test, schedule your driving skills test at your local Driver & Vehicle Services office.
Once you pass the driving skills test, you'll be issued your operator's license or Class E license for a fee of $20.
Students can also choose to complete their drivers license tests through Driver & Vehicle Services-authorized Drivers Education Licensing Assistance Program (DELAP) courses in participating public or private schools. After taking the drivers license test, the drivers education teacher will enter the student's results into FL Driver & Vehicle Services records.
These results will be used by the local drivers license office for issuance of a learners driver license or Class E drivers license. FL Driver & Vehicle Services may, however, test any student on a random basis before issuing a drivers license.
