1) Take this course

This course is available to adults who have never had a driver's license in America. If you have a valid driver's license from another state, you don't need this course.

2) Go to the DMV

b) Bring these items with you when you go to the DMV:

• The certificate we gave you. You can look up your certificate number here.

• Proper identification. You can find what you will need at GoGatherGet

c) While you are at the DMV, you will do these 3 things:

• Get a vision and hearing exam

• Take their written test. Here are links to their handbooks in English, Español, and Kreyòl. Our course prepared you well for their test, but it is a good idea to review their manual.

d) Take your Class E Driver's Exam.

This is the behind-the-wheel test. You will need to bring your own car, as the FLHSMV will not provide a car for your test. The car you bring must be safe and reliable, and your car must be registered and insured.

If you are not prepared to take the Behind-the-Wheel test, you could simply get your Driving Permit and then go and get yourself some training. You can hire a proper school to teach you, or you could have a sober and licensed person aged 21 or older sitting in the front passengers seat. When you are ready, come take the behind-the-wheel test and swap your permit for your Class E Driver's License.

After you have completed all of this, you will be given your Adult Class E Driver's License.

FEES

Now, it does not have to be a financial burden, but if you are not prepared, and you don't take it seriously, you may spend a lot of money that you didn't need to spend. Here are the fees:

• $48 for the either the Driver's Permit or the Class E Driver's License.

• Again, your first attempt at the DMV's Knowledge Test is free. After that, you must pay $10 each time you retake the test.
  

• $6.25 tax collector service fee paid each visit the tax collector. If you go to the FLHSMV rather than the tax collector, this fee will not be charged.

Here is where is can add up, fast! You can take the DMV's Knowledge test only twice in the same day, so if you are not prepared, and you fail it twice in the same day, you must come back another day to retake the test the third time, and you must pay another $6.25 for the tax collector fee, and another $10 for each retake, with a limit of 2 retakes on the second visit. Here is the comparison. As the cost for the Driver's License is the same for everyone ($48), we are just looking at the varying costs of the process to get that license.
