Driving school made easy

To obtain a Florida Learner's Permit you must meet the following requirements:

• Be 15 to 17 years old
• Pass the learner's permit test
• Provide the required documents

If you are 18 or older, you should apply for a Class E driver's license.

The Florida Driver's License is officially known as a Class E Driver license. To obtain this you must meet the following requirements:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Complete a four-hour drug and alcohol course prior to taking your permit test with the DMV
• Pass a vision and hearing test
• Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam
• Pass the Class E Driving Skills Test
• Provide identification and all required documents

If you are under 18, additional requirements apply:

• You must hold a Florida learner's permit for at least 12 months or until you turn 18, whichever comes first.
• You cannot be convicted of any traffic violations within 12 months of the date you received your learner's permit. However, one moving violation will not disqualify you from earning your license if you complete a Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) Course.
• You must have 50 hours of driving experience, including at least 10 hours of night driving. Use a learner's license driving log to keep track of your hours. You must provide a parental form attesting to your driving experience.
