Good morning, excuse me. I want to get my driving license. This is my first time. Can you tell me what I need to do?

Good morning, sure I can help you with that. Take a seat please.

Thank you. So, as I told you, this is the first time I will try to get my driving license. First, you need to meet some basic requirements. Are you over 18 years old?

Yes, I'm 20 years old. Well, I will be 21 the next month, but I'm over 18.

Great. Do you have any form or ID with you, like your passport or national ID?

Yes, I have my ID card right here. Um, one moment please. Now here it is.

Perfect. You will need to fill out an application form. After that, you have to take a written test and a vision test. Once you pass those, you can schedule your driving test.

Oh okay. So, I have a question. How much does it cost?

Let me see. The application fee is $25. The written test costs $15 and the driving test is $30. So, in total it will be $70.

All right. What do I need to study for the written test please?

You should study the Driver's Handbook. It has all the rules of the road, traffic signs and safe tips. You can get a copy here or download it from our website.

That sounds good. And how long does the written test take?

It takes about 30 minutes. You need to answer multiple choice questions and you must get at least 80% correct to pass. That's the minimum.

80%? Um, okay. And if I fail?

If you fail, you can retake the test after seven days. But don't worry, many people pass on their first try if they study well.

Okay, that's good to know. What about the vision test?

The vision test is simple. We will check if you can see clearly enough to drive safely. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, make sure to bring them. It is important.

Got it. And after I pass those tests, what's next?

Once you pass, you can book your driving test. It's best to practice driving with a licensed driver before taking the test. The driving test checks your skills on the road, like parking, turning and following traffic rules.

I see. And how long is the driving test?

It's about 20 to 30 minutes. We will drive around the neighborhood and I will ask you to perform some tasks like parallel parking and making a three-point turn.

All right. Excuse me, do you have any tips for passing the driving test?

Yes, stay calm, follow all the traffic signs, use your mirrors and always signal when turning. Practice as much as you can before the test.

That's helpful. Thank you. Can I take the written test today?
