After the teen completes Module 1 and passes the DPS permit exam, they can apply for a Texas Learner's Permit at a DPS driver license office. The teen must be at least 15 years old. Missing any required document means the DPS will not process the application.

From Driving Logic: * ✅ DE-964 6-Hour Permit Qualification Certificate — proves Module 1 is complete and the DPS written exam was passed. The teen skips the written test at the DPS counter. From TDLR: * ✅ PTDE Program Guide Packet receipt — proof that the parent is registered as the PTDE instructor Proof of Identity — bring one: * Original state-issued birth certificate (not a hospital copy — photocopies not accepted) * Valid U.S. passport or passport card Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Presence — bring one: * U.S. birth certificate * Valid U.S. passport * Permanent resident card or other lawful presence document Two Proofs of Texas Residency — from two different sources: * Utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, mortgage statement, school records, or other documents showing the teen's Texas address Social Security Number Documentation — bring one: * Social Security card * W-2 form * SSA-1099 Verification of Enrollment and Attendance (VOE): * Signed form from the teen's school confirming current enrollment. Valid for 30 days (90 days June–August). A high school diploma or GED also satisfies this requirement. Payment: * $16 Learner's Permit application fee Parent or Legal Guardian: * Must accompany the teen and bring their own valid ID

All documents must show the same name. Bring supporting documentation if the teen's name has changed.

DPS driver license offices are by appointment only. Schedule at txdpsscheduler.com before the visit.

Does the teen still take any test at the DPS? Only a vision test. The written knowledge test is waived because the DE-964 Permit Certificate shows it was already passed online.

What is a VOE form? A Verification of Enrollment and Attendance form signed by a school official confirming the teen is currently enrolled. It is valid for 30 days. See the VOE article for more details.

What if the teen is home-schooled? Home-schooled teens use a home school affidavit instead of a VOE. Contact the Texas DPS or your home school administrator for the appropriate form.

My teen's name on the DE-964 certificate does not match their ID — what do I do? Contact Driving Logic support immediately. The certificate name must match the teen's legal ID before the DPS visit.

Can the permit be obtained without the parent present? No. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the teen and present their own valid ID at the DPS driver license office.
