What are the steps to getting your Florida driver license?

Modified on Wed, May 10, 2023 at 6:46 PM

To earn your Florida driver license, you must:

  • Be at least 16 years old
  • Hold a learner's permit for at least one year or reach your 18th birthday — whichever comes first
  • Provide a Certification of Minor Driving Experience Form to prove you have 50 hours of driving experience
  • Pass the Class E Driving Skills Test at a local DMV
  • Take your test with a vehicle that passes a basic inspection and has valid registration and proof of insurance
  • Receive no moving violation convictions for one year form the date your learner's license was issued (unless you received one moving violation where adjudication was withheld)
  • Provide documents to establish proof of identity
