STATE CHECKLIST

Before your appointment.

Florida’s handbook tells a driver to inspect tires, lights, windows, mirrors, and brakes before driving.

When backing, Florida advises checking behind the vehicle directly, turning to look through the rear window, and moving slowly; cameras and alarms do not replace observation.

Florida’s graduated licensing rules depend on age and permit stage, so confirm the current teen page before planning practice or test timing.

Permit eligibility, documents, fees, and appointment details can change. Confirm those details with Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles before you go.
