How to Get Your Driver's License in Florida (Adults 18+)
Getting your first Florida driver's license is simple when you follow the official steps - with the right preparation it can be fast, easy and stress-free.
Step 1: Take the TLSAE Course (Required)
If you're 18 years or older and applying for your first Florida driver's license, you must complete the 4-hour Traffic Law & Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course, approved by the FLHSMV. This course covers Florida traffic laws, the risks of drugs and alcohol behind the wheel, and safe driving strategies. You can take it 100% online, on your schedule.
Step 2: Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam (In Person)
Once you've completed the TLSAE course, you're eligible to take the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam: 50 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws and road signs. You must correctly answer at least 40 questions (80%) to pass.
This test must be taken at a Tax Collector's Office or FLHSMV service center for adult applicants.
Pro Tip:Consider taking a DMV exam prep course beforehand-practice real exam-style questions and explanations to boost confidence and avoid retakes.
Step 3: Complete the Vision Screening & Driving Skills Test
Next, you must complete both:
- A vision screening (required by FLHSMV)
- The behind-the-wheel Class E Driving Skills Test, where you'll demonstrate maneuvers and safe driving under supervision.
- Make sure to bring a properly registered and insured vehicle, as required by state law.
Step 4: Bring the Required Documents (“What to Bring”)
When you visit the DMV or Tax Collector's Office in person, you'll need original documents to prove your identity, Social Security number, and Florida residency. The FLHSMV requires:
- One proof of identity (original U.S. passport or certified U.S. birth certificate)
- Proof of Social Security number (Social Security card or W-2 with your SSN)
- Two proofs of Florida residential address (two different documents dated within last 60 days such as utility bill, rental agreement, vehicle registration, voter registration)
- Any name change documentation if you legally changed your name (marriage certificate or court order)
- Once you complete these steps and your documents are approved, you'll take your photo, pass your exams, and receive your Florida Class E driver's license.
