The California Department of Motor Vehicles has all the information you need to get a driver’s license DMVCheatSheets.com, learner’s permit or identification card. If you are ready to get your driver’s license, you will need a few things first. First, you need to decide which type of license you will need. There are a couple different types.

Below is some information about the commercial and non-commercial A or B driver’s licenses and what you will need to obtain either.

Commercial And Non-Commercial A or B Driver’s Licenses

For a commercial driver’s license, you will need to first schedule your drivers test either by calling 1-800-777-0113 or submit a Certificate of Driving Skills form from your employer. On the day of your test you will need to bring your driver’s permit, the correct type of vehicle with a licensed driver, and proof of insurance.

To show proof of insurance, you have to give only one of these documents: a document that shows you have a liability insurance policy or the number for your surety bond, a card that shows you have your assigned risk insurance, the card should say the insurance company’s name, file number and recent dates for coverage and an insurance binder that is up to date or a duplicate of your insurance policy that is signed or cosigned by your insurance company. You can also give a contract for a rental car only if your name is on the contract or show a certificate proving you were given self-insurance by the department of motor vehicles or that you acknowledge that you put down a deposit. If you had a driver’s license in the same name or a different name for another state or other jurisdiction in the last ten years, you will need to submit to a 10-year history check before you will be given your license.
