How can I get my license renewed in California?

I've heard that if you have your permit, once you turn 18 you can automatically get your license?

  • I've had my permit for over two years [renewed], but haven't wanted to actually get my license. I've heard that if you have your permit, once you turn 18 you can automatically get your license without taking the driver's test, is that true? I live in California, if the state makes a difference.

  • Answer:

    Once you're 18, you don't have to take the behind the wheel classes, but I think you still have to take the 10 minute driving test with the DMV instructor the day you go to get your license.

...no.

No, you have to show you can drive.

See what the cop says. Your permit will expire. You do have to do the entire driver's licensing process from beginning to end. Being 18 does not bring an automatic privilege of any kind. The state issues a license to those who have passed their test. This applies to all states--it's their license and their test. You must always have a licensed driver with you. Are you doing that? If you aren't, you could be in for a big eye-opening jolt.

Once you get your permit you can go ahead & make that appointment for that Behind The Wheel Test .But you still need to take that test . No ifs, ands, or buts about it if you want your License.

You still have to take the being the wheel test.
