STEPS TO GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE:
Step 2:
Schedule appointment with DPS to get the permit. Appointments are booked out for 60 days. New appointments come online every day at 6 p.m. The earliest a student can get an appointment is 15 and a half. All students with paperwork showing completion of driving education are exempt from the written test.
Ex: Student with a June birthday would want to look for a permit appointment in April.
Step 3:
Finish the 10 hours of classroom time and the 6 hours of driving. After the last day of class all students will be given a CONTRACT. The student can still get the permit as early as 15 and a half with the contract but would still have to take the written test. After all driving hours are completed, the student will receive a CERTIFICATE. The certificate exempts the student from the written test.
Step 4:
Obtain the permit from DPS as early as 15 and a half.
Bring:
- 2 forms on ID - ORGINAL birth certificate or passport & social security card
- Driving Education contract or certificate
- Parent (if under 18)
Step 5:
Take the drive test with Champion 6 months from the issue date on the permit. After passing the test all students must wait one business day before going to a TAG AGENCY (No DPS).
