费用
第一本驾照
法律将申请费定为 $47(October 1, 2015, 即二〇一五年十月一日起生效,此前为 $30),市长有权调整这项费用。
申请驾照(operator's permit)需缴 $47;市长可以上调或下调这项费用。
$47
路考 $10,驾照 $47。
首次申领驾照 $47,有效期八年;更新也是 $47。
这笔费用在申请时缴纳。
如果你刚到美国
你的移民身份
这种驾照的其中一条申请途径,要求你从未被签发过社会安全号码(SSN)。
DC DMV 为有限用途驾照(Limited Purpose driver license)设有单独的服务页面。
没有到期日期的外国证件
如果你的合法身份是临时的,而你的证件上没有到期日期,特区签发的驾照有效期不超过一年——不会短于六个月,也不会超过特区驾照的最长有效期。
如果你其他州的驾照已经过期
过期不超过 90 天,你的驾照可以直接转换,办理时上交原驾照即可;过期超过 90 天,就要参加 DC DMV 的笔试和路考。如果驾照本身不在你手上,DC DMV 接受原来所在州出具的经认证的驾驶记录,须在最近 30 天内签发,并显示驾照状态良好、过期未超过 90 天。
如果驾照本身不在你手上,DC DMV 接受原来所在州在最近 30 天内出具的经认证的驾驶记录,显示驾照过期未超过 90 天。过期超过 90 天,你就必须参加 DC DMV 的笔试和路考。
你的社会安全号码(SSN)
提供你的号码,以及谁能看到
你的社会安全号码(SSN)不属于公开记录;发证机构会将它存档,并且必须告知你这一点。
只要你曾被签发过社会安全号码(SSN),就必须提供;申请有限用途驾照的人是例外。
你必须在 DC DMV 的申请表上填写社会安全号码(SSN);DC DMV 会通过电子方式向社会安全局(SSA)核验。
预约时需要提供你的名字和姓氏、出生日期,以及社会安全号码(SSN)。
新发或更新后的驾照上的识别号码是随机生成的号码,不是你的社会安全号码(SSN)。
你要参加的考试
视力检查
视力检查在 DC DMV 服务中心进行,通过检查是发放驾照的前提。
你把眼睛凑到机器前,向 DC DMV 工作人员读出一行行字母或数字。
你需要较好的一只眼睛视力达到 20/40 或更好,或达到 20/70 或更好且视野不小于 140 度;靠眼镜或隐形眼镜通过检查,驾照上会加注相应限制。如果没通过,你必须提交由眼科专业人员出具的视力报告(Eye Report)。
笔试有几次机会
在 12 个月内六次不及格后,你要等到第一次不及格之日起满 12 个月,才能参加第七次考试。
考试期间使用手机或智能手表、查看学习资料或与人交谈都算作弊——考试记为不及格,60 天内不能重考。
12 个月内六次不及格,要等到第一次不及格之日起满 12 个月才能第七次尝试。
考试不及格后要等三个完整日历日才能重考;12 个月内六次不及格,要等到第一次不及格之日起满 12 个月才能第七次尝试。作弊直接记为不及格,且 60 天内不能重考。
周二没考过,要到周六才能重考。
一次不及格后,你要等三个完整日历日才能再次参加考试。
考试不及格后要等三个完整日历日——周二没考过,周六才是你可以重考的第一天。

使用翻译
DC DMV 网站上有“DC DMV in Your Language”(你的语言版 DC DMV)页面,另有单独的口译与翻译服务(Interpreter and Translation Services)页面。
DC DMV 会询问该用哪种语言与你沟通。
DC DMV 网站可以通过内置的谷歌翻译(Google Translate)显示为阿姆哈拉语、简体中文、法语、韩语、西班牙语或越南语——这只覆盖网站本身,不包括现场口译。
DC DMV 设有专门的口译与翻译服务(Interpreter and Translation Services)页面。
用学习驾驶许可练车
练车时谁能坐在你旁边
你必须在一名年满 21 岁、持有有效驾照(operator's permit)的司机指导下练车——这个人坐在你旁边的座位上,系好安全带。
一名年满 21 岁、持有有效驾照(operator's permit)的司机,坐在你旁边的座位上并系好安全带。
一名年满 21 岁、持有有效驾照的司机必须指导并陪同你,坐在你身旁并系好安全带。
路考要带什么
谁陪你去
路考时必须有一名年满 21 岁的持照司机陪你前往。如果你持学习驾驶许可(learner permit)、在没有这样一名司机陪同的情况下自己开车过去,六个月内不允许参加考试。
必须有一名年满 21 岁的持照司机陪你去参加路考。
车辆和保险
只有当你被列在租车合同上、是获准的驾驶人时,才可以使用租来的车。
车辆必须挂好前后车牌(如果该车前后都需要),并妥善固定在保险杠上。
如果该车适用车检贴纸,必须贴有有效的车检贴纸;贴着未通过车检的贴纸的车不能用于路考。
如果你或你的车辆没有满足路考的全部要求,DC DMV 可以取消这次路考。
直接在 DC DMV 考试时,你可以用自己的车,也可以在填写免责声明(waiver)后免费使用 DMV 的路考车;第三方考试不能使用 DMV 的车。自己的车需要有效的车辆注册、写明该车辆及到期日期的保险卡或保单、按规定挂好的前后车牌和有效车检贴纸(如适用),以及正常工作的刹车灯和转向灯、喇叭、车窗、带把手的车门、后视镜,和位于前排座位之间的手拉式或按钮式紧急制动。
持学习驾驶许可(learner permit)自己开车去考试、身边没有年满 21 岁的持照司机,会让你六个月内不能参加考试。
直接在 DC DMV 考试时,到场后你可以在自己的车和 DMV 的路考车之间选择。
你必须开一辆满足这里所列要求的车到场。
路考期间你必须系好安全带。
车辆需要正常工作的刹车灯、转向灯、喇叭、能升降的车窗、内外都有把手的车门、车内后视镜、车外两侧后视镜,以及位于前排座位之间的手拉式或按钮式紧急制动。轮胎必须气压正常、状况良好(不能是备胎或临时小备胎),挡风玻璃无裂缝、视野无遮挡、后视镜上不能挂任何东西,仪表盘上不能有任何保养或警告灯亮着——包括低油量警告灯。
你开来的车必须有有效的车辆注册和保险证明。
如果考官认为紧急情况下自己无法让车停下——例如紧急手刹很难够到——DC DMV 可以取消考试。
车辆必须有有效注册并已投保。
