□ Present proof of completion of driver education
□ Present identifying information
- □ Give your true full name, if your name no longer matches the name on official documents
- □ Verify your birth date and legal presence

□ Pay the licensing fee (This fee entitles you to three exams within a 12-month period and pays for both the instruction permit and the driver license. If all requirements are not met within a 12-month period, the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again.)
□ Pass a vision exam
□ Pass the DMV's written exam (by correctly answering at least 38 of the 46 questions; if you fail an exam, you must wait seven days before taking it again)
