Getting Your Driver's License at 16 in California

Are you 16 years old and ready to get your driver's license in California? You can apply for a provisional license at this age, but there are certain requirements you must meet first. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide to help you get your license quickly and easily. To get your license at 16 in California, you must:

• Have had your instructional permit (in California or another state) for at least 6 months.
• Provide proof that you have completed driver education and training.

If you are under 17 and a half years old, you will need to complete an approved road safety education course that is taught by a state-licensed driver's education school and includes a minimum of 25 hours of instruction. After you have attended the first two hours of driving training, you are allowed to practice driving with a parent or licensed driver over the age of 25. You can fill out the & Driver's License ID Application online, and your parents or legal guardians can sign the form electronically.

And you cannot carry passengers under the age of 20, unless they are accompanied by a California licensed parent or guardian, a California licensed driver 25 years of age or older, or a licensed or certified driving instructor. If you are 17 and a half years old but not yet 18 years old, you can apply for your provisional license without having to take the road safety education course. That step follows as you complete the other requirements for obtaining a California driver's license.
