Identity Verification Documents for the DPSWhen the student is ready for the Texas Learner License (permit), your local Texas Department of Public Safety or Motor Vehicles office will ask you to provide documents that verify your: Personal Identity, U.S. Citizenship, Social Security Number and Texas Residency. For each of these four items there are multiple documents that may be used as verification.

Below you'll find a list of the documents and information you'll need, age-specific requirements, and DPS testing information. What You'll Need to BringIn addition to completing an application at the DPS, you will need to provide:
Driver Education Age RequirementsIf you are under the age of 25, you must successfully complete an approved Driver Education course, such as our online adult driver ed course. Once you successfully complete the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion to bring with you when you apply for your license. This course is voluntary for adults 25 and older but highly recommended for all first time and novice drivers. Since you can complete it at your own pace and all material is online, it provides easy access to essential driving topics such as Texas traffic laws, driving in adverse conditions, car safety features, motor vehicle basics, accident avoidance, high-speed environments, road rules and much more. Driving TestsTo obtain a Texas driver's license, you must pass three tests. Test 1 — The Knowledge TestAlso known as the Written Test, this test measures knowledge of the rules of the road as laid out in the driver's handbook. Successfully completing a driver education course exempts you from this test. Test 2 — The Vision TestA basic vision test will be performed at the DPS office. You may attempt to pass the vision test without corrective lenses if you wear them normally, but you may be told they are necessary for you to drive if you need them to pass the vision test. If that is the case, you will not be allowed to legally drive without corrective lenses. Test 3 — The Driving TestThe final part of your driver's license application is the driving test, where you will drive your vehicle with a customer service representative from DPS in the passenger seat. Make sure your car has passed a Texas inspection and is legal. The CSR will give you instructions to follow. See our page explaining the details of the driving test for more information. If you pass the driving test, you will be given your Texas driver's license. |
