How to Get Your Florida Driver's License
You must meet several requirements to obtain your Florida driver's license, officially known as a Class E Driver license:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Complete a drug and alcohol course
- Pass a vision and hearing test
- Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam
- Pass the Class E Driving Skills Test
- Provide identification and all required documents
-
1 Pass Vision and Hearing Tests Show
You must pass vision and hearing tests to get your driver's license. If you need to wear corrective lenses (contacts or glasses) or a hearing aid to pass the test, a restriction will be added to your license that requires you to always wear them while driving.
You can take the vision and hearing tests in person at a Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) location.

2 Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam Show
Passing the Class E Knowledge Exam is another requirement for getting your Florida driver's license. It is the same exam as the learner's permit test, so you have already met this requirement if you earned your learner's permit.
The exam covers Florida traffic laws, traffic controls and safe driving practices. It is sometimes referred to as the written test, but it is multiple choice and there is no writing involved. You are required to get a score of at least 80 percent (40 out of 50 questions correct) to pass. The Official Florida Driver License Handbook contains everything you need to know to pass the test.
You are not required to take the exam if you can provide a valid driver's license from any of the following:
- United States (including territories/possessions)
- U.S. military
- Canada
- France
- Germany
- Republic of China (Taiwan)
- South Korea
If you hold a valid Canadian driver's license but don't wish to surrender it, then you must take the Class E Knowledge Exam. When you are issued your driver's license, you must surrender licenses from any other states or U.S. territories.
