To obtain your permit at the DMV, you'll undergo the following:

  1. Vision Test: This assesses your eyesight to ensure it meets the minimum requirements for driving.

  2. Written Permit Test: This evaluates your knowledge of road signs, traffic laws, and driving practices. We offer a study guide to help you prepare for the written test. You can purchase it here.

  3. Fingerprint and Signature: For identification and security purposes, you'll be asked to provide your fingerprint and signature.

  4. Photo: A picture will be taken for your permit, which will be used as an identification photo.

Ensure you have all the necessary documents and meet the prerequisites before heading to the DMV to streamline the process.
