How to Get Your Driver's License for the First Time in Lynnwood for Teens
How to Get Your Driver's License for the First Time in Lynnwood
Getting your driver's license for the first time is an exciting milestone! At Bal Driving School in Lynnwood, we're here to guide you through each step of the process clearly and easily.
Step 1: Enroll in a Driver's Education Course
Washington State requires teens under 18 to complete a driver's education course. At Bal Driving School, we offer comprehensive, state-approved courses designed to give you the confidence and skills you need.
Step 2: Obtain Your Learner's Permit
Before you start driving lessons, you'll need a learner's permit. You can get this at a local Department of Licensing (DOL) office after passing a knowledge test. Bal Driving School can help you prepare and even administer this test right here in Lynnwood!
Step 3: Complete Your Driving Lessons
With your learner's permit, you'll start behind-the-wheel lessons with our experienced instructors. We cover essential skills like parallel parking, lane changes, highway driving, and safe driving techniques tailored specifically for Lynnwood-area traffic conditions.
Step 4: Log Your Practice Hours
Washington State requires teens to log at least 50 hours of supervised driving, with 10 hours at night. Keep track of these hours carefully, as you'll need to submit this log when you apply for your license.
Step 5: Pass the Driving Skills Test
Once you've completed your lessons and practice hours, you're ready to take the driving skills test. Bal Driving School is a DOL-approved testing center, allowing you to conveniently schedule and take your driving test right at our Lynnwood location.
Step 6: Apply for Your License
After passing your driving skills test, head to your local DOL office with your documents, permit, proof of completed education, and your driving log. Once processed, you'll officially become a licensed driver!
