ทำใบขับขี่ที่ DMV

Welcome. Do you have a license from another state, or is this your first time applying?

An international license is valid for a limited time. You'll need to pass a written knowledge test and a behind-the-wheel driving test. First, fill out this application and bring it to Window 3.

Your passport, proof of residency like a utility bill or lease, your Social Security card or denial letter, and $35 for the application fee.

If your documents check out, yes. The test is 36 multiple-choice questions. You need to get 30 right to pass. It's available in multiple languages.

Once you pass the written test, you'll get a learner's permit. You can schedule the driving test online — the earliest appointment is usually two to three weeks out. Bring your own vehicle and proof of insurance.

You can renew online if your license is not yet expired and you renewed in person last time. Otherwise, you need to come in. Do you have a REAL ID or a standard license?

Good idea. For REAL ID, you'll need your birth certificate or passport, Social Security card, and two proofs of California residency. The renewal fee is $40.

No driving test for renewals. But you'll need to pass a vision test and take a new photo. If your license has been expired for more than 60 days, you'd need to retake the written test.

I highly recommend making an appointment online. Walk-ins can wait two to three hours. With an appointment, you're in and out in about 30 minutes.
