Getting Your California Driver's License
Are you a Moreno Valley teen ready to start driving? These steps will guide you from taking our online California drivers ed course to receiving your California provisional license. We've included local DMV office locations near Moreno Valley for easy access.

Meet Age Requirements

To begin the journey toward your California driver's license, you must be at least 15 years old to enroll in our California driving education course. This course is the essential first step in preparing for the California DMV permit test.

Complete California Drivers Ed

Our California drivers ed course covers everything you need to know, from California driving laws to road safety and vehicle operation. This 30-hour course is designed to give you a solid foundation in safe driving. Once you complete it, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion (DL 400C), commonly called the "pink slip." This certificate is required to take the DMV test.

Study for the California Permit Test

While our California drivers license course covers most material, taking time to study the California DMV handbook is essential. This handbook and a permit practice test can help you understand the specific questions and scenarios likely to appear on the DMV test.

Schedule a DMV Appointment

Once you have completed drivers education and are at least 15½ years old, it's time to apply for your California permit for driving. Visit a local DMV office - consider ones in nearby Hemet, Norco, or Redlands. Make an appointment to minimize your wait time, and bring essential documents, including:

  • Your Driver License Application (DL 44) signed by a parent or guardian.
  • Proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport.
  • Social Security Number.
  • California residency proof, like utility bills or school documents.
  • Certificate of Completion from our drivers ed course (DL 400C).

Pass the DMV Written Test

The California drivers permit test includes 46 questions on traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving. You'll need a minimum of 38 correct answers to pass. You have two options to take this test:

  • Online Supervised Test: You can take the California permit test online through the DMV website with the approval of a parent or guardian. This test is proctored through a webcam.
  • In-Person Test at the DMV: On the day of your DMV appointment, bring all required documents. After verifying your paperwork, you'll take the test on one of the DMV computers.

Vision Test and Permit Fee

Once you pass the DMV test, you will also take a quick vision test at the DMV. Pay the $45 permit fee, and you'll receive a temporary paper permit while you wait for your official California drivers permit to arrive in the mail.

Initial Behind-the-Wheel Training

Your new California learners permit must be validated before you start practicing driving. Schedule an initial 2-hour California driving lesson with a certified instructor, which will validate your permit. This behind the wheel training is essential for your permit to be used with a supervising adult.

Practice Driving in Moreno Valley

Once your instructor validates your permit, you're ready for supervised practice driving. Complete 50 hours of practice driving with a licensed adult 25 years or older, including 10 hours at night. The scenic landscapes of Moreno Valley make it a great place to practice day and night driving safely. Additionally, consider nearby parks and open spaces, like Box Springs Mountain Reserve, for peaceful areas to work on maneuvering.

Finish Behind-the-Wheel Training

Complete 6 hours of professional California behind the wheel drivers class training. These hours can be split into multiple sessions with a certified instructor to ensure a well-rounded skill set. Practicing with an experienced driver and taking lessons from professionals ensures you're prepared for all aspects of driving and ready for the final road test.

Apply for Your Provisional License

After holding your California permit for at least six months and completing all driving requirements, you can apply for a California provisional driver's license. You must be at least 16 years old and have all completed practice and training hours verified by a parent or guardian. Schedule your driving test at the DMV, bringing:

  • Your validated permit.
  • Proof of completed driving hours signed by a parent.
  • Certificate of professional driving lessons completion (if required at your DMV office).

Pass the California Driving Test

The California DMV driving test consists of two parts:

  • Safety Check: The examiner will check your car's basic functions, including brakes, signals, and lights. They'll also ensure you know how to adjust mirrors and use essential controls.
  • Driving Performance Evaluation: The examiner assesses your ability to make safe turns, navigate intersections, merge into traffic, and follow California driving laws. Your local DMV offices in Hemet, Norco, and Redlands are good options for scheduling this test.

After passing, you'll receive a provisional driver's license, valid for 90 days as a paper copy until your official license arrives in the mail. You'll now have the freedom to drive without an adult but remember that for the first 12 months, you'll have some restrictions, including:

  • No driving between 11 PM and 5 AM without a licensed driver over 25 unless it's for school or work with appropriate documentation.
  • No passengers under 20 years old unless a licensed driver over 25 is with you.

Once you reach 18, your provisional license will automatically upgrade to a full, unrestricted California class C license without additional testing, giving you complete driving freedom in and around Moreno Valley.

Obtaining a California driver's license is a significant milestone, and driving in Moreno Valley's beautiful surroundings will allow you to practice and enjoy this new responsibility. With our California drivers ed course, local DMV offices, and the experience of driving in Moreno Valley, you're fully prepared for success on the road.

The Traditional Classroom Experience: Less Convenient for Busy Students

Read more

While traditional classroom-based California driver's ed courses offer structure, they come with several drawbacks for Moreno Valley residents. First, commuting to and from a physical class adds unnecessary time to your schedule, and with Moreno Valley's growing population, traffic congestion can make this even more stressful.

The quality of instruction in a classroom setting can also be inconsistent. Instructors vary in experience, meaning you might not always receive the best preparation for the California DMV permit test or the California driving test. If you miss a class due to illness or other commitments, making up the material can be challenging, leading to delays in your preparation for the California class C license.

Given these limitations, opting for an online California drivers ed class allows you to learn efficiently and without the added complications of classroom scheduling and travel.

FAQs on California Driver's Ed and Licensing
How many questions are on the drivers ed final exam?

The final exam for our California drivers ed course includes 50 questions. These are designed to cover essential driving knowledge, such as road signs, traffic laws, and safety practices. Don't worry if you don't pass on your first attempt - you can retake the final exam as many times as you need to succeed.

Do you need to take drivers ed at 18?

If you are 18 or older in California, drivers ed is not a mandatory requirement for getting your license. However, many adults still choose to take a drivers ed course to better prepare for the written knowledge test and ensure they're confident behind the wheel. Completing drivers ed can be especially helpful in cities like Moreno Valley, where road conditions vary and understanding local driving laws can make your transition to independent driving smoother.

Do schools offer drivers ed?

Most schools in California no longer provide drivers ed directly. Instead, schools may partner with DMV-approved driving schools to offer students online or in-person options. In Moreno Valley, we work with several schools to help students meet state requirements for drivers ed in a convenient and flexible online format, allowing them to study at their own pace.

Can you take drivers ed in a different state?

It's generally best to take drivers ed in California if you plan to apply for a California driver's license. California has specific requirements that out-of-state courses may not meet, so completing a course designed for California's DMV standards ensures your certificate will be accepted without extra steps.

Where else do you offer drivers ed in California?

In addition to Moreno Valley, we offer drivers ed across Riverside County and other California cities, including Ontario, Buena Park, Pomona, Oxnard, Lake Elsinore, Folsom, Palo Alto, San Bernardino, Burbank, Glendale, Walnut Creek, Santa Clarita, Lake Forest, Manteca, Bakersfield, Perris, and Beaumont. This gives students across the state convenient access to our DMV-approved courses and online resources.

What to bring to drivers ed?

For our online drivers ed course, you don't need to bring anything specific. The course includes all study materials, quizzes, and interactive activities, which are accessible from any device with internet access. Just make sure you have a stable connection and are ready to learn.

Can you take the written driving test online in California?

Yes, eligible students in California can take the DMV written test online through a supervised and recorded process. For those under 18, a parent or guardian must approve online testing. This option provides added convenience, especially for Moreno Valley residents who may prefer to complete the test at home.

How long does it take to learn how to drive and get a license?

For teens, California requires a minimum of 30 hours of drivers ed and at least six hours of professional behind-the-wheel training. After that, you'll need to complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice over a minimum of six months. Adults generally need to pass the written test, hold a learner's permit, and practice until they feel prepared for the driving test. The whole process can take from several weeks to several months, depending on your schedule and readiness.

After driving school, what's next?

After completing drivers ed, the next steps depend on your age:

  • Under 18: You can apply for a California learners permit after finishing drivers ed. This will allow you to start supervised driving practice and eventually qualify for the driving test.
  • 18 and Older: After passing your knowledge test, you'll receive a permit to practice driving. Once you feel confident, you can schedule a driving test with the DMV to earn your California driver's license.
Completing these steps efficiently can help you gain independence and get on the road in no time!

Can you take the permit test on paper in California?

No, the California DMV primarily offers the permit test electronically at DMV locations or as a supervised online test. The online option offers more convenience and can save Moreno Valley residents time by eliminating the need for an in-person visit.

Can a driving school issue a license?

No, driving schools in California cannot issue a driver's license. Instead, they provide drivers ed and behind-the-wheel training required to qualify for a California DMV license. After completing these requirements, you will need to schedule an appointment at the DMV for your official in-car driving test to earn your license.

How do you get your permit in California?

To get a California permit, follow these steps:

  1. Complete drivers ed: If you're under 18, you must first complete a state-approved drivers ed course.
  2. Gather necessary documents: You'll need proof of identity, Social Security Number, and California residency.
  3. Visit the DMV: Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application (DL 44) and submit your Certificate of Completion.
  4. Pass the knowledge test and vision test: This test includes 46 questions, with 38 correct answers needed to pass. Once you complete these steps, you'll receive a provisional permit to start practicing driving with a licensed adult.
Following this process will bring you closer to your California driver's license. Remember to keep your permit signed by your driving instructor for it to be valid for supervised practice driving.
