However, the California DMV requires that you submit the original certificate of completion to them (DL 400c/OL 237) when applying for your driver’s permit. As such, your original certificate must be mailed to you and will be mailed to you the day after you complete the course. Expedited shipping options are also available.

Simple… once you have completed your California drivers education course and behind-the-wheel training course, you can apply for your California driver’s license and then start your actual training behind the steering wheel when accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian, or other licensed driver 25 years of age or older.

The online instruction permits behind the wheel learning after completing our course so you can get your California drivers license. A California drivers license means that you are DMV-approved and being DMV-approved means that you will receive an official DMV certificate and can start driving! That, and your parents can trust you with their car. ????

To obtain a Driver License Application, you may either pick one up at your local DMV office or you may call the DMV’s Automated Telephone Service at (800) 777-0133 to have a form mailed to you.
