Congrats!!! You have finished the game. Now are you ready for the DMV test? Knowing the correct

meaning of traffic signs could lead you from making these mistakes below!

Now that you are ready to get that learner’s permit these are the forms you must provide to the DMV Office:

To apply for a learner’s permit or driver’s license, you must show:

- Two proofs of identity; Documents submitted as primary proof of identity must show your full legal name and date of birth. Nicknames and abbreviations will not be accepted. You must present at least one document from the primary list of documents. The second proof of identity may come from either the primary list or the secondary list. If two of your proofs of identity are issued by the same entity, such as the same state agency, DMV may require additional proof of identity documents. If you are under age 19, you will need only one proof of identity but it must come from the primary list of identity documents. A U.S. birth certificate or unexpired U.S. passport will serve as a primary proof of identity. These documents will also serve as proof of your legal presence in the U.S.

- One proof of Virginia residency; Proof of Virginia residency: You must provide one proof of Virginia residency and you must provide DMV with the street address of your principal Virginia residence. If you are under age 19, your parent or legal guardian may certify your Virginia residency.

- Proof of your social security number (SSN);- If you are applying for a learner’s permit or driver’s license, you will be required to provide proof of your social security number (SSN) if you have one. If you are applying for a photo ID card, you do not have to provide an SSN. DMV will immediately verify all SSNs with the Social Security Administration. If the SSN you present does not match the SSN on file at the Social Security Administration, DMV will not issue you a driver’s license or learner’s permit. DMV will assign you a customer number.

- You will also be required to show proof of legal presence. A proof of legal presence document shows that you are in the United States legally. Applicants for a first-time Virginia driver's license or photo ID card must show proof of legal presence, including individuals born in the United States .
