Step One

 

Choose an online Drivers Ed Course or a Live Classroom.  

 

We recommend a local school where you can see a live office and pick up a certificate to eliminate mailing problems, name misspells or other unexpected delays you may find choosing a driving school like Bakker's Driving School that offers both online Driver's Education and live Behind-the-Wheel lessons may be more convenient.

 

Step Two

 

Study the DMV test questions on the DMV web site and the Bakkers web site

 

Take to DMV: (a DMV appointment is optional for a written test,  the DMV will accepts walk-ins)

Your Driver’s Education Completion Certificate

Your Birth Certificate original or certified copy (not photo copy)

$31

Your Social Security Number

DL44 DMV application signed by both parents

 

Pass the 46 question written test at DMV

DMV will issue you a learner's permit before you leave the DMV office.

 

Step Three

 

Call your auto insurance company and add your teenager to the family policy.

 

Step Four

 

To validate your permit sign up and take at least one driving lesson before going with a parent.

You can call Bakker's Driving School at 800-418-5008 (10 AM to 6 PM weekdays) or schedule your lesson directly from the Bakker's home page.
