Parental Consent |
|
|
|
|
|
If you are under 18 years of age, you must have your biological or adoptive parent or court-appointed legal guardian sign all applications to obtain any type of driving privilege (such as the Driver License/ID Card Application). If your parents are divorced, either parent or a legal guardian may sign your application, regardless of who has custody.
Married?
If you are under 18 and married, you are not required to obtain a parent or legal guardian's signature. Instead, you must present documentation showing that you are married.
Emancipated?
If you are emancipated by means other than marriage, you must present a copy of the emancipation decree issued by the juvenile court. A parent or legal guardian's signature is not required.

Withdrawal of Parental Consent |
|
The parent or legal guardian who signed the driver license application for an applicant under the age of 18 may withdraw their consent for the child to have a permit or license at any time until the child turns 18. This is done by completing DMV Form 735-7206, Surrender or Withdrawal of Driving Privileges, License or Identification Card. DMV will cancel the child's permit or license until a parent or legal guardian again consents to the child having a permit or license or until the child reaches 18 years of age, becomes emancipated or is married. If a parent withdraws their consent, the child will need to fulfill all issuance requirements (including any necessary application and testing fees) to reapply for driving privileges.
