I live in California
I did driversedtogo.com, and I passed the exam and everything. When I get my certificate in the mail, what do I do?
Do I take that into the DMV and take the test for my permit?
Or do I take that certificate to a driving school, then go to the DMV and get my permit?
Thank you
Go straight to the DMV, bring a Social Security ID and a birth certificate.
When you get that certificate, you need another certificate that says that you are enrolled in a behind the wheel training program with a certified driving instructor.
Then, make sure you have all the things listed below, and make your way to the DMV!
Check out the CA DMV website. They have all the instructions written out pretty clearly and it’s easy to access.

To apply for a provisional permit, you will need the following:
-Be at least 15 ½, but under 18 years of age
-Visit a DMV office (make an Appointment(s) for faster service)
-Complete the application form DL 44 (An original DL 44 form must be submitted. Copies obtained by xeroxing, faxing, or other methods will not be accepted.)
-Have your parents’ or guardians’ signatures on the application form DL 44
-Give a thumb print
-Have your picture taken
-Provide your social security number. It will be verified with the Social Security Administration while you are in the office.
-Verify your birth date and legal presence
-Provide your true full name if your name no longer matches the name on your birth date legal presence document
-Submit the proper form(s) for driver education and/or driver training classes (See below for details.)
-Pay the application fee (This fee entitles you to three exams of any type within the 12-month period and pays for both the instruction permit and the driver license. If all requirements are not met within the 12-month period, the application becomes void and all steps must be completed again.)
-Pass a vision exam
-Pass a traffic laws and sign test. There are 46 questions on the test. A passing score is at least 39 correct answers. You have three chances to pass the test. If you fail, you must wait 7 days before taking it again.
