Do I need a DC drivers permit before applying for a Washington DC drivers license? Washington DC

New Driver Checklist
That depends.

Do you have a valid drivers license from another state or jurisdiction? If so, you won't need to go through the District of Columbia drivers permit process.

However, if you don't, you'll likely need to obtain your learners permit - no matter how old you are. However, if you're 21 or older, you won't have to go through the Gradual Rearing of Adult Drivers (GRAD) program and deal with the rules and restrictions regarding that program.

Take a Practice Permit Test

If you fit into the category of those who must obtain a driving permit, consider taking a practice permit test. This act has helped many people pass their DMV knowledge test more easily.
