It must be exciting that you’re ready to get your permit! It will cost $33 to get your driving permit in California. Don’t forget to bring the following to your appointment:
  • Your driver’s ed certificate or driver training enrollment forms
  • Your Social Security number
  • Your personal ID, including your birth date and citizenship
Once you pass the test, you’ll be all set with your new driving permit! You’ll also need to update your (or your family’s) insurance, since you’ll be driving! With
