If you've been licensed before, skip the learner's permit section. If you've never been licensed before, you will be given a permit once you pass your written permit test so you can practice driving before your driving test. Note, however, that the California DMV will most likely waive your driving exam if you already hold a license * UNLESS your license is from another country (see our section on non-citizens below). To apply for a new California driver's license, you must follow all the instructions in “Apply for Your CA License" below (including taking the written exam).
