What You Need to Know About San Bernardino California Licensing Procedures
Starting the process of applying for your San Bernardino California learner's permit or first San Bernardino California driver license can seem very daunting at first, so it helps to have as much information handy as possible. San Bernardino California has a graduated driver license program for San Bernardino California drivers ages 15 and a half to 17, and there are a number of things we want you to be aware of to make sure that applying for your San Bernardino California driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's begin.
Types of Licenses
You should be made familiar with the three basic types of San Bernardino California driver's licenses. They are: San Bernardino California learner's permit, San Bernardino California teen driver's license, and the regular San Bernardino California driver's license. Here's a simple outline of the requirements and restrictions for each license type:
San Bernardino California Learner's permit
- must be at least 15 and a half years of age, but under 18
- must be accompanied by a person at least 25 years of age who also has a San Bernardino California driver's license
- cannot drive with passengers under 21 (except siblings)
San Bernardino California Teen Driver's License
- must be 18 or have had learner's permit at least 6 months
- late night driving is restricted (see details below)
- requires passing a road test
- cannot transfer passengers under 21 until 1-year probationary period has passed
San Bernardino California Driver's License
- must be 18 or have had teen driver's license for one year
- no further restrictions apply
Now that you've been introduced to the different types of licenses, here's what you need to know about applying for each one.
San Bernardino California Learner Permit or San Bernardino California Provisional License
Although you have to be at least 16 to apply for your first San Bernardino California driver's license, when you're 15 and a half you can apply for a San Bernardino California provisional license, otherwise known as a San Bernardino California learner's permit.
So if you're 15 and a half or older, take the following to your local San Bernardino California DMV.
- The $31 free, which entitles you to three exams of any type within a 12-month period, and also includes the fee for your San Bernardino California instruction permit and your San Bernardino California driver license
- Form DL44, along with your parent or guardian signatures. To save time, you can also make an appointment online here.
- The proper identification
- Form DL400C, which is your certificate of completion you receive after you complete your online drivers education course
At your local San Bernardino California DMV, you'll have to pass a vision exam, as well as a traffic laws and sign test. Once you pass the written exam and vision test, you'll receive your San Bernardino California instructional driver license, or San Bernardino California learner's permit. This license will enable you to practice driving providing you have someone 25 years or older in the seat next to you as you learn. However, the driver accompanying you must have a San Bernardino California driver's license. You can find a few sample tests on the San Bernardino California DMV website here.
San Bernardino California Teen Driver's License
If you're 18 or have had your San Bernardino California learner's permit for at least 6 months, you're ready to try for a San Bernardino California teen driver's license! But before you do so, you must complete the following requirements:
- Be able to provide proof of financial responsibility (more on this later).
- Completed driver education
- 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with a professional driving instructor.
- 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 or older (at least 10 of these practice hours must have been done at night)
- Have your San Bernardino California learner's license for at least 6 months
Because you only get three chances to pass the road test, we strongly suggest getting as much driving practice as you can! Any 16 year old applicants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when taking the San Bernardino California driver's license road test. After you pass your driving test, you'll receive an interim San Bernardino California license (valid for 60 days) until your San Bernardino California photo license comes in the mail. If you fail the San Bernardino California driving test, you have to wait two weeks before taking it again.
San Bernardino California Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
There are several restrictions you need to be aware of regarding your San Bernardino California learner's license or San Bernardino California provisional drivers license.
If you only have your San Bernardino California learner's permit, you must be supervised by a parent, legal guardian, or person over 25 who has at least one year of driving experience. The person who is supervising you must sit in the front passenger seat. In addition, you cannot drive with passengers under 21 (except brothers or sisters).
If you have a teen driver's license but are under 18, you are not permitted to drive a vehicle between 11AM and 5AM for the first twelve months unless have a parent, legal guardian with you. Also, you cannot transfer passengers under 21 until your 1 year probationary period has passed.
Exceptions to this restriction are made in the following cases:
- You have a medical necessity
- You are participating in a school activity
- You have an employment necessity
- You must transport a family member
- You are an emancipated minor.
