First Time Applicants
must do the following:
Apply
for a Temporary Permit Packet at the office of your
local deputy
registrar. The fee will be $21.00. If your current driver license has expired more than
6 months and within 2 years, the fee will be $24.00.
See Driver
License Fees. Take with you documentary proof of your age and
social security number, (if
one has ever been assigned).
See Acceptable Documents.
If you
are under 18 years of age you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, or person
having legal custody, or, if there is no parent or guardian a responsible person who is
willing to assume the obligations imposed under Rule 4501:1-1-19 of the Ohio
Administrative Code. The co-signer must
also take documentary proof of his identification.
See Acceptable Documents.
If you
lose any portion of these forms, you will have to purchase additional forms and begin the
whole process over again.
Take
your temporary packet to the nearest Ohio Driver's License
Examination Station to take the written and vision tests. No appointment for these
portions of the examination is necessary. You might call to make sure when the exam
station is open for business.
When you
appear for the examination you must:
Take a
vision examination and a
written examination.
Answer
questions concerning your physical health and any medical conditions you might have. If
you have a condition that might affect your driving, the examiner will explain the steps
you have to take and provide you with a medical packet (form BMV 2058) which must be
filled out by your doctor.
See
medical procedures for a Temporary Permit.
After you pass the written and
vision tests the examiner will validate one of your forms and you will be
able to practice driving on the street–but only if you are accompanied by
a licensed driver in the seat next to you.
You
cannot drive on this packet (even with a licensed driver) until you have passed the vision
and written tests.
