How to Get Your Learner's Permit in Florida
Getting your Florida learner's permit is an exciting first step toward driving freedom - and with the right guidance, it's fast and simple. Here's everything you need to know to get started.
Step 1: Complete the Required 6-Hour DETS Course
Before you can get your learner's permit, you must complete the 6-Hour Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course, approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
This state-required course teaches essential driving laws, safety rules, and the effects of drugs and alcohol on driving. It's 100 percent online, mobile-friendly, and designed so you can learn anytime, anywhere, at your own pace.
Step 2: Take the Learner's Permit Exam (Online or In Person)
After finishing the DETS Course, you'll take the official Florida DMV Knowledge Exam - a 50-question multiple-choice test on road rules and road signs.
- You need at least 40 correct answers (80%) to pass.
- If you're 15 to 17 years old, you can take the test online from home, supervised by a parent or guardian.
- Prefer to test in person? You can also take it at your local Tax Collector's Office or DMV service center.
Pro Tip: Take our DMV Prep Course first to practice real exam-style questions and explanations. With a 97% pass rate, it's the fastest way to feel confident and avoid retakes.
Step 3: Prepare Your Required Documents
When you visit the DMV or Tax Collector's Office, bring:
- Two forms of identification
- Proof of date of birth
- Two proofs of residential address
- Proof of Social Security number
- Parental Consent Form (if under 18 - signed in front of a driver license examiner or notarized)
If you're under 18 and not married, a parent or legal guardian must sign your application. (Step-parents may only sign if they've legally adopted you.) Non-U.S. citizens must also provide proof of legal presence.
Once you've completed these steps and passed your tests, you'll take a quick vision screening, have your photo taken, and then receive your official Florida Learner's Permit - ready to start logging supervised driving hours and working toward your driver license.
Can I get my money back if I don't need the course?
Yes. If you realize you purchased the wrong course or simply change your mind, our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee covers you. As long as you haven't completed the course, we will refund your payment. See Refund Policy
Are there hidden fees for the DETS course?
No. We offer a No Hidden Fees Guarantee. We display the total cost clearly on your screen before you enter your payment information. View Our No Hidden Fees Policy
I don't see "Lowest Price Traffic School" on the Permit Course list. Why?
The Florida DHSMV only allows companies to list one official name per service. For the Learner's Permit Course, we are listed under our specific domain: DetsCourse.com. Rest assured, DetsCourse.com is a property of the National Safety Commission and includes LowestPriceTrafficSchool.com. Both provide the fully approved course statewide, in all 67 Florida counties. See Approval Audit
Is this the official Florida Driver Education (DETS) course?
Yes. This is the DHSMV-required course for first-time drivers to get a Learner's Permit. We automatically report your completion to the state so you can take your DMV written permit test - which can be taken with us online.
What is the DETS Course?
The Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course is a new 6-hour online course required for all Florida teens under 18 applying for a learner's permit. It replaces the older 4-hour TLSAE (Drug and Alcohol) course and covers road rules, safe driving habits, and the dangers of impaired and distracted driving. It's 100% online and approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
At what age can I get a learner's permit in Florida?
You can apply for your learner's permit once you turn 15 years old. Before applying, you must complete the 6-hour DETS Course and submit a parental consent form at the DMV or Tax Collector's Office.
Can I take the Florida learner's permit test online?
Yes! Teens ages 15 - 17 can take the official Florida DMV knowledge exam online at home, with a parent or guardian supervising. The online version is the same as the test given at the DMV.
How many questions are on the learner's permit test?
The Florida permit exam has 50 multiple-choice questions: 40 on road rules and 10 on road signs. You need a score of 80% (40 correct) to pass.
What documents do I need to bring to the DMV?
