Are the steps for renewing a CA permit the same as drivers license renewal? California

New Driver Checklist

No. Not at all.

Learners Permit Renewal

In California, if you let your drivers permit expire without getting the regular drivers license, you will have to go into the CA DMV and restart the entire learners permit application all over again. This means:

  • You must get both parents to sign a new application, if under age 18.
  • You must retake the written and vision tests.
  • You will have to re-pay the application fee of $31.

Having an expired driver license, whether it’s a permit or a regular license, can also get you a traffic ticket if you happen to get pulled over while driving.
