What Are the Steps to Getting a Learner License?

If you're preparing to get your first license, especially as a teen, you must complete a few important steps in line with state laws and driver education requirements. Here's what you need to do to pass and earn your learner license on time:

• Complete the Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course, an online program designed to teach key safety principles and curriculum standards set by the state
• Pass the Class E Knowledge exam — a written exam that's available online
• Be at least 15 years old
• Pass a vision and hearing test
• Provide documents to prove your identity, Social Security number and residential address
• Provide a signed and notarized Parental Consent Form if you're under 18
• Pay the licensing fee

To pass your exam the first time, take advantage of online education tools, study guides and practice questions that align with your state's curriculum.

By completing each step carefully and on schedule, you'll be on your way to earning a learner license that gives you the freedom to drive with safety, confidence and full knowledge of the laws that keep everyone protected on the road.

Learn State Laws, Traffic Safety and Exam Prep Tips in One Online Program

Let's say you're 14 ½ years old and ready to get started. The first step is to satisfy your education requirement with Driver Education Traffic Safety. Our online DETS program will introduce you to traffic signs and signals, state motor vehicle laws, defensive driving strategies, the responsibilities of having a license and more.

When you complete the curriculum, you can start reviewing the state driver manual and studying for your written exam. When you turn 15, you can take your learner license exam 100% online!

The exam includes 50 multiple-choice questions on state traffic laws and traffic signs and signals. We have plenty of resources to help you pass the first time, including a prep course and online practice test.

Once you pass the exam, you can visit a local FLHSMV service center. The final steps are to provide all required documents, complete vision and hearing testing and pay the licensing fee. After meeting all requirements and completing the steps above, you will be eligible to get your learner license.

Is the Licensing Process the Same for Applicants Ages 18 and Up?

The process is similar, but there are some key differences. If you're 18 or older, you don't need to take Driver Education Traffic Safety. Instead, you need to pass Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE).

You won't need a Parental Consent Form, but you have to provide the same required documentation to prove your identity and residency. You must pass the Class E Knowledge exam, but the state requires applicants 18 and up to take it in person at a FLHSMV location.

You also need to satisfy the additional requirement of taking the Class E Driving Skills Exam, which is a behind-the-wheel assessment. Finally, you must pass a vision and hearing exam and pay the licensing fee.
